Why create your own qualification?
Businesses benefit from a qualified workforce. If staff are trained and qualified they tend to be motivated and more productive. Creating your own qualification gives your staff learning formal recognition outside your business, enhancing your corporate image.
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) is Scotland's national accreditation and awarding body. We're known for delivering Scotland's school exams, but we also work in partnership with businesses of all shapes, sizes and sectors across the UK and beyond.
SQA Customised Awards let you create your own unique, certified, quality-assured qualification that is sharply focused on your needs and ambitions. They are truly bespoke, so learning follows precisely the route you choose
The benefits for your business
Above all, we're about delivering exactly the qualification you want. Focused on achieving business objectives, Customised Awards challenge and motivate your employees, enhancing skills, standards and productivity and giving you a competitive advantage. Your staff receive their own certificate featuring the SQA logo and that of your business. The recognition and development opportunities they provide, lead to increased staff retention.
Each award fulfils SQA's rigorous quality assurance criteria. That means you can be confident of a qualification that is robust enough to stand up to scrutiny and could help you meet regulatory compliance.
Your qualification can achieve universal recognition by being credit rated on SCQF – the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework – where it will sit alongside comparable qualifications. SCQF provides a clearly defined view of what your award delivers – great news for your people's career progression and for demonstrating competence to customers, stakeholders and other third parties. SCQF credit rating protects your award too; it can't be used by others, although you can choose to offer your qualification to other businesses.
Tailored to you
Flexibility is key, and it's a huge part of SQA's Customised Awards. We give you space, scope and support to design your qualification to fit your circumstances. So whether you're building on and formalising existing in-house training, or starting from scratch, our integrated Customised Awards are always ready to go.
Supporting your business from day one
From day one you'll be working with SQA's experts, including your own locally based Business Development Manager and a team of specialists ready to advise you about every aspect of developing your learning and assessment materials.
