Search for a NATIONAL COURSE by TITLE
For arrangements documents and specimen question papers for National Courses enter as much or as little of the title as required to narrow your search - eg comput for either computing or computers.
Search for a UNIT by TITLE
To find a National Unit specification by title simply enter as much or as little of the title as required to narrow your search - eg admin for administration.
Search for a NATIONAL COURSE or UNIT by CODE
To find a National Unit specification or an arrangements document for a National Course or Cluster simply enter the unique "4 +2" product code. You can get this from SQA's National Qualifications Catalogue (4 MB).

You can also make searches on the database using only part of the code - the minimum required is the first two characters.
