About us
SQA is Scotland’s national awarding and accreditation body. We help people realise their potential by providing a wide range of high quality, internationally recognised qualifications.
SQA qualifications, specifically Scottish Vocational Qualifications, are an integral part of the vast majority of the Modern Apprenticeships available across Scotland. Young people who complete a Modern Apprenticeship are work-ready, and able to accurately demonstrate the skills, knowledge and experience that they have developed during their training.
We’re in our seventh year of delivering our own Modern Apprenticeship programme, which gives valuable on-the-job training in a number of roles and the confidence to move on to the next stage in their development.
