Accreditation
SQA Accreditation is a distinct, autonomous arm of the Scottish Qualifications Authority. We have a statutory role to authorise and approve vocational qualifications that are offered across Scotland which includes, but is not limited to, Scottish Vocational Qualifications. We also recognise and approve awarding bodies to deliver these qualifications through centres of learning including colleges, employers and private training providers. To achieve this, we:
- Accredit qualifications, including Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs)
- Approve awarding bodies (across the UK) to award accredited qualifications
- Audit awarding bodies to ensure they continue to meet required standards of delivery & quality assurance
- Monitor approved centres of learning to ensure awarding bodies are fulfilling their role adequately at learner level
SQA Accreditation receives grant-in-aid funding from the Scottish Government to carry out its statutory roles and self finances its commercial activity.
