Scotland’s new national awarding body from the 1st February 2026
The ADR qualification you’re working towards and those you’ve already achieved remain trusted and recognised, delivered by a new organisation created to better support learners and partners.
All SQA qualifications, past and present, remain valid and valued.
Qualifications Scotland continues to uphold the same high standards and quality processes that give learners, educators and employers confidence in these qualifications.
Qualifications Scotland builds on the strong foundations of Scotland’s qualification system, with a renewed focus on openness, collaboration and stronger support for learners.
Working with schools, colleges and employers, Qualifications Scotland creates pathways for success and supports learners to achieve their potential through trusted qualifications that recognise knowledge, skills and progress.
