Description

The new National Qualifications system in Scotland represents the coming together of the previous academic and vocational qualifications systems in schools and colleges. The new qualifications are based on a single curriculum, assessment, quality assurance and certification system covering all subjects from Chemistry to Care and English to Engineering. The new modular qualifications are built up of outcome-based units. The launch of the new qualifications has been accompanied by the launch of the Scottish Qualifications Certificate. This is a cumulative, computer-based certificate which will show success in every unit and programme which a learner achieves.
