SVQs
Scottish Vocational Courses in Construction and Engineering Technologies

Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs) tell you exactly what you have to do in a job to do it well. They are based on National Standards which are drawn up by people from industry, commerce and education. This means that if you have an SVQ you have a way of proving that you can do your job well, to national standards agreed by whatever industry or commercial sector you are in.


SVQs send powerful messages to employers:

  • you can do your job confidently and well
  • you are motivated, confident and ambitious
  • you are ready to take on responsibility
  • you are committed to your work


SVQs are specifically designed for employed learners and are usually studied on a day release or block release basis.
