Welcome to the Pacific Register of Qualifications and Standards!

The Pacific Register of Qualifications and Standards (PRQS) has three domains:

  • Accredited qualifications;
  • Professional licensing and occupational standards;
  • Traditional knowledge and indigenous skills and
  • The main purpose of the PRQS is to facilitate the benchmarking of Pacific qualifications against international standards. This purpose is achieved through the use of the Pacific Qualifications Framework (PQF) as a translation device. Qualifications from Pacific Island countries and territories will be referenced against the PQF and a level for registration on the PRQS will be confirmed. The PQF will also be the instrument that will establish comparability of Pacific qualifications with other international education and training systems. 

    Click on the relevant flag below to view the result of referencing of each national qualifications framework against the PQF.
