In late 2009 FÁS informed FETAC that their internal verification processes identified assessment related issues on a range of courses delivered by private providers in the North East. FÁS commenced an investigation and informed FETAC that they would not request certificates for the courses in question until all issues were addressed and the appropriate corrective action was taken. In recent weeks FÁS informed FETAC of a separate administration and procedural issue relating to certificate requests. This issue is being examined by FÁS at present and FETAC are also undertaking an examination of the issue at a number of sample FÁS sites.
