Qualifications & Apprenticeships

We're the UK's only food and drink specialist awarding organisations and as such have close links with the food and drink industry
Working closely with the industry means we're able to develop qualifications that give learners the most up-to-date and relevant knowledge and skills
The majority of the qualifications that support food-related apprenticeships in Northern Ireland are provided by FDQ, especially Level 2 and Level 3
All FDQ qualifications are delivered and assessed in English. Irish Gaelic versions can be made available where there is sufficient demand
FDQ is delighted to announce the introduction of the FDQ Level 2 Diploma in Professional Bakery (Northern Ireland).
Developed to support learners entering the bakery industry, this qualification provides the practical skills and knowledge required to progress into employment or further learning within the bakery sector. The qualification has been designed to support the development of future bakery talent and help meet the skills needs of employers across Northern Ireland.
The qualification will form part of the Northern Ireland traineeship framework, providing learners with a recognised route into one of the UK's most important food manufacturing sectors.
