Qualifications Scotland (Scottish Gaelic: Teisteanasan Alba) is the public body responsible for accrediting educational awards in Scotland from 2 December 2025.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) was previously responsible for the functions.[2] In June 2021, the Scottish Government announced that the SQA would be replaced.[3] The legislation for the new body to be set up was passed by the Scottish Parliament in June 2025.[4]
Staff employed by the Scottish Qualifications Authority were to be transferred into the employment of Qualifications Scotland.[5] Recruitment for the board, to include five teachers and lecturers, began in July 2025.[6] The SQA's chief executive Nick Page became the new chief executive.[2]
