FOR EMPLOYERS

This section lists publications about SVQs currently offered by SQA.  There is an alphabetical subject listing for publications about qualifications in particular areas - most vocational areas are covered.

Due to the size of this section, we have split it into four areas to keep it easy to navigate:

• General Information
• For Candidates
• For Employers
• Leaflets by subject area
• Core Skills

Where publications are of a technical nature (eg Cars and portfolios) these are listed in the section SVQ Subject-specific.
