SQA will continue to invest in online delivery of documents and assessment support on our website - www.sqa.org.uk/curriculumforexcellence - as the most cost effective, environmentally friendly channel for information to be shared with schools and colleges. We would encourage practitioners to access the documents online to make sure they get the most up-to-date information on the new National Qualifications.  There is no intention to provide any future materials in printed format. Some centres have already requested to be remove from the dispatch. Further details.

SQA is publishing the final Course, Unit and Assessment Specifications for the 197 new National Qualifications at National 2, National 3, National 4, National 5 and Higher levels.

Simultaneously, Education Scotland is publishing a suite of practical advice and guidance for teachers and lecturers to support them in preparing for implementing key aspects of the new qualifications. SQA Curriculum for Excellence news - 30 April 2012.
