Qualifications Scotland

Qualifications Scotland is Scotland's national awarding and accreditation body. It replaced the Scottish Qualifications Authority in February 2026, and its official website connects learners, educators and centres with qualifications and services.

Published information and service routes cover Scottish qualifications, learner and centre resources and awarding and accreditation. Use the current organisation's information for the qualification and assessment year. Some current materials and digital services remain on sqa.org.uk during the website transition, as explained by Qualifications Scotland; historic branding alone does not mean a resource is obsolete.

For related tasks, Qualifications Scotland can be considered alongside Scottish Government for scottish government information, policies and publications and mygov.scot for scottish public services, everyday government guidance. These resources cover adjoining parts of the subject; each publishes its own information and handles its own service, access arrangements or applications.
