What is involved?

You may meet your SQA Examiner or Assessor face-to-face if you are doing a practical assessment as part of a project, for example, but you won't meet your SQA Examiners if you are sitting written examinations for National Qualifications - though you will soon see the effects of their work when you get your results (see www.mysqa.org.uk for details).
