Hi everyone, We haven’t been able to post on the blog as much we would like but we’re hoping to pick it back up again now. I wanted to share a post from the SQA ‘X’ account for World Mental Health Day 2024. Pupils from Auchmuty High School shared their experiences of the Mental Health and Wellbeing Awards having completed the level 5 award last year. It’s great to see the awards having such a positive impact on young learners.…

Hello, Hope you’re all well. Firstly, apologies that the level 6 units still aren’t available. The delivery requirements and type of qualification level 6 is going to be requires a bit more discussion, so we’ve been taking the time to do this to ensure we get everything right. We’re aiming to have the units online in March with complete qualification available online by June. We understand this may not be ideal for centres with regards to planning for next session…

Hi everyone, Hope you’re all good. I’m just following on from our level 6 update and US event with some further information. Unfortunately, things haven’t moved as quickly as we would like behind the scenes as there’s always loads of annual leave across various teams at this time of year, so we just haven’t been able to process as quickly as we hoped. It’s now unlikely units will be online before the Christmas break next week but they will be…
