About SQA
The Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) is Scotland’s national awarding and accreditation body. We are trusted to oversee thousands of qualifications that are available in schools, colleges and workplaces, not just in this country, but around the world.
SQA plays a crucial role in Scotland’s education landscape and stands at the heart of public service in Scotland. Our qualifications have changed lives and created opportunities for generations of learners, not only here but across the globe.
We are searching for a new Chief Executive to help lead us on a journey of positive change as we evolve into Qualifications Scotland. This is a rare opportunity to build an organisation that is agile, learner-centred, and world leading. The role will work with partners to drive forward the ambitious reform of Scotland’s qualifications and assessment system.
