SQA is the Maritime Skills Alliance's preferred awarding organisation. We have developed a close working relationship with them to ensure that the qualifications meet employers' needs and also reflect UK and international regulations. Colleagues at SQA have a very good understanding of the sector and the practical reality of delivering our qualifications; they're good partners.
From 1 September 2019 where there is more than one qualification at each level and size (Award/Certificate/Diploma) a combined qualification has been created and given one Ofqual code. However, for ease of reference, entry and resulting purposes, each pathway retains its individual structure and SQA code.
