SQA Overview of Qualifications

Deciding which national qualifications to develop

The SQA have published the overviews of qualifications for most of the curricular areas:

The Overview of Qualifications publications outline the list of subjects that fall within each curriculum area. The list includes the names of the subjects and the levels at which qualifications will be developed. The publication also gives details of the scope of the curriculum area, skills, progression, and learning and teaching approaches. Qualifications will be developed in line with the broad vision set out in the Overview publication.
