On Tuesday 6 August 2024, almost 150,000 learners will receive their Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) results.

All learners will have their results certificate delivered to their home address. Those who have activated their My SQA account will also receive their results by text or email.

Learners will also receive a new resource called 'Your Results'. Your Results contains information about certificates, appeals and how exams are marked and graded.

No Wrong Path

There is no wrong path to future success. Many people in interesting job roles do not follow a traditional path.

Listen to the Learning Conversations podcast episode 'No Wrong Path'. In this episode our Chief Executive, Gillian Hamilton, speaks with her son Stephen and Education Scotland’s Klaus Mayer about their career journeys. We hope that their stories will provide learners, parents, and carers with reassurance and career inspiration.
