Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, the process of how you receive your SQA results is different this year. In June your teachers/lecturers will discuss your provisional results with you. Then you will receive your SQA certificate by post on Tuesday 10th August. SCQF credit points and levels are included in all SQA certificates so understanding the what this means will help you make better decisions about your future learning or career options.

The Foundation to Social Improvement (FSI) is a registered charity, established in 2007 to provide high quality training and support for small charities. We currently support over 8000 small charities throughout the UK by offering free or heavily subsidised learning opportunities. In 2017, the FSI approached the SQA to develop a suite of fundraising qualifications specifically for the Small Charity Sector. We now deliver a Diploma and Certificate in Fundraising Practice, both at SCQF Level 8 (RQF Level 5), and an Introduction to Fundraising Practice at SCQF Level 6 (RQF Level 3).

We have developed a new leaflet going back to basics to help everyone, from learners to education providers, employers and parents/carers, understand the SCQF.

The Chartered Banker Institute (the Institute) is a professional body, authorised by the UK Privy Council to award the designation ‘Chartered Banker’. Many of the Institute’s qualifications sit within the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), and whilst the SCQF is not a regulatory body, it has a role to ensure that the quality and integrity of the qualifications within the Framework are maintained. The Institute achieves this by being an SCQFP Approved Credit Rating Body (CRB).
