About SQA

Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) is the national awarding body in Scotland responsible for the development, accreditation, assessment, and certification and awarding of qualifications other than University Degrees. SQA was established by the Education (Scotland) Act 1996 which is an act of Parliament and as such is responsible to the Scottish Government. As an internationally recognised awarding body many of the qualifications that are quality assured and certificated by SQA are accepted by International Universities for advanced entry and/or credit transfer into Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programmes.

Partnership

ISDC works in collaboration with SQA (Scottish Qualification Authority), UK to award various levels of customised qualifications mapped to the SCQF (Scottish Credit Qualification Framework). Following a rigorous approval process, ISDC's partnership with SQA provides a broad range of Pathways to achieve uniquely customised qualifications that are approved, quality-assured, regulated and awarded by SQA and recognised for credit transfer to many international universities.

ISDC's suite of qualifications is mapped against the credit and skills framework of the SCQF to provide quality assurance and enable progression. This alignment with the SCQF provides transparency and portability to ISDC qualifications, allowing them to be compared across countries and institutions and enabling those who hold credits to progress to degrees awarded across the globe.
