  • SQA Academy is being developed to extend and enhance the training and development opportunities available to all those who contribute to the assessment processes that underpin the qualifications of the Scottish Qualifications Authority.

    The SQA Academy website is divided into a number of distinct "webspaces", each of which fulfils a different purpose. The majority of these webspaces are only available to registered users. However, some spaces are open to all, without the need for registration. More information on the webspaces within the SQA Academy is given below.

    How to create an account

    We have prepared a document titled "How to create an Account" (linked from the main menu on the left) which contains a quick guide to registering for the SQA Academy, enrolment instructions for our webspaces, and directions for retrieving your username and password if you have forgotten them. Please read this document if you are having trouble accessing any of our webspaces.

    You can also contact the SQA Academy team on 0131 271 6744 or email us at academy@sqa.org.uk.
