Welcome to the Database of Approved Qualifications in Wales (DAQW).
A qualification approved by the Minister for Children, Education and Lifelong Learning is eligible for funding by a Local Education Authority or by the Welsh Government. This funding is for the education provider, not the learner.
DAQW contains details of all the qualifications which are approved for teaching in Wales for learners aged 14 or over, excluding higher education. Information in DAQW includes:
- full title;
- the awarding body which provides the qualification;
- whether it counts as a choice for the 14-19 Learning Pathways;
- performance points;
- expiry dates.
You may search the database and save or print off your results.
