Abstract	This article explores how the FETAC standards and processes at Levels 1 and 2 can be used to recognise literacy as a social practice. A summary review of the development of the National Framework of Qualifications is provided. Levels 1 to 4 in Ireland are compared with three key international frameworks, including OECD levels and those in Northern Ireland/England and Europe. Following a short consideration of assessment in adult literacy practice in Ireland, a process is outlined that practitioners and managers in adult basic education can use to support the certification of literacy as a social practice in adult education and real life contexts. (Contains 3 tables and 9 footnotes.) (As Provided).
