Partnership working

We work with employers, Sector Skills Councils (SSC) and professional bodies. These close partnership means we design qualifications that are fit-for-purpose and reflect the needs of the industries and sectors they support.

I am always delighted with the service we receive from SQA. It is vital that our Council can rely on SQA to support us as together we develop new VQ-accredited programmes, and refresh the practice delivery of our existing programmes. SQA is a highly valued business partner.

Gayle Rennie is our Business Consultant, she is excellent and really goes the extra mile! When I was drifting in and out of signal, the help that Gayle gave me that day was over and above what was expected. Gayle is a fantastic ambassador for SQA
