The Scottish Qualifications Certificate

The Scottish Qualifications Certificate

All candidates receive the Scottish Qualifications Certificate (SQC) on successful completion of their qualifications.

The SQC:

• is cumulative and lifelong
  
   
• provides a comprehensive list of all achievements including:
  - Group Awards
  - National Courses/Clusters
  - Stand-alone Units
  
   
• provides a Core Skills profile
   

• provides an SCQF profile
  
   
• provides a commemorative certificate to candidates achieving Group Awards (eg SVQ, HNC, HND)
  
   
• contains security features designed to make it impossible to copy or fake

We issue SQCs to candidates every week for Group Award and National Cluster achievements and monthly for Unit-only achievements.  National Courses are certificated during the first half of August.
