SQA will only quality assure the qualification/learning programme once it has been credit rated if you have signed up to our external quality assurance service. This is at an additional annual cost and is carried out by an SQA Officer.
Organisations can submit an existing qualification/learning programme which learners have already taken part in, or a programme which has yet to run.
The way in which a qualification/learning programme is assessed does not affect the submission and as long as the outcomes are formally assessed, and the results recorded then it can be considered for credit rating.
As this is a commercial service there is charge. For further details please contact SQA’s Credit Rating Service.
This will result in general credit and not specific credit being allocated.
SCQF Credit Rating will not result in accreditation or validation by SQA. SQA is the credit rating body.
