Why choose SVQ

Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) are designed for supporting professionals in advancing in their careers by demonstrating competencies directly through their work performance. These qualifications are evidence-based, focusing on the practical application of skills in the workplace.

SVQs align with specific industry standards of competence, offering a way to formally recognise the job-related skills and knowledge essential for various roles. For certain professions, obtaining an SVQ might be a legal requirement, underscoring their importance in professional development and compliance. By pursuing an SVQ, individuals can boost their career prospects and add great value to their organisation by meeting the recognised benchmarks of skill and ability.
