'''ACCAC''' (the [[Acronym and initialism|acronym]] of '''Awdurdod Cymwysterau, Cwricwlwm ac Asesu Cymru''') was the '''Qualifications, Curriculum and Assessment Authority for [[Wales]]'''. On 1 April 2006, it merged with the Welsh Assembly Government's new [[Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills]] (DCELLS). ACCAC was an [[exempt charity]], and an [[Welsh Government sponsored bodies|Assembly Sponsored Public Body]] responsible for advising the [[National Assembly for Wales]] on matters relating to [[education]] and [[wikt:qualification|qualification]]s. All external qualifications in Wales were regulated by ACCAC with the exception of [[National Vocational Qualification|NVQs]], which [[Qualifications and Curriculum Authority|QCA]] is responsible for.

ACCAC was based in [[Cardiff]]. Its English equivalent is the [[Qualifications and Curriculum Authority]] (QCA).
