Round 1 verification materials uplift

We issued round 1 verification selection emails on Wednesday 4 December. These included information on submitting candidate evidence. We also confirmed that the digital evidence submission platform (NQ Verification – Evidence Submission) for uploading candidate evidence and supporting documentation for digital verification is available on SQA Connect until Thursday 16 January 2025. This platform will allow you to confirm whether you’re submitting digitally or using the physical uplift.

You can find guidance for the NQ Verification Evidence Submission platform on SQA Connect under the ‘User Guides’ section.

We strongly recommend you use the Evidence Submission Service – this gives you more flexibility to submit evidence within the timescales provided, as well as reducing the environmental impact of a physical submission.

If you’re planning to submit materials for verification by physical uplift, packages should be ready for collection by our courier on Wednesday 22 January 2025. You can find information on constructing your verification sample in your verification distribution material, which you’ll receive from Tuesday 17 December 2024 if you’ve been selected for verification.

If a physical uplift hasn’t taken place on Wednesday 22 January 2025, or if you have any questions regarding uplift or packaging of materials, please contact SQA immediately on 0345 213 6612 (option 2) or verification.materials@sqa.org.uk.

If you require assistance with verification activity, please contact the NQ Verification team on 0345 213 6766 or nqverification@sqa.org.uk.
