Understanding Standards

The following presentations were delivered at CPD events for National 3, National 4, National 5 and Higher Art and Design Courses. They can be used by Nominees to help pass on information to colleagues in their school, college or local authority. Equally, anyone delivering the new National Courses may find the contents helpful in understanding the required standards.

Verification

In 2019, a single qualification verification summary report replaced the verification key messages.

Unit assessment support packages (UASPs) for freestanding units

UASPs are available on SQA's secure website. Please contact your SQA co-ordinator to access them. Multiple packs are available at each level, and each pack contains:

  • unit assessment tasks
  • approaches to gathering evidence
  • judging evidence against outcomes and assessment standards.
