Updates to SQA Accreditation of Our Qualifications
Posted on 13th July 2016
STA is currently in the process of seeking an extension to the accreditation period of the five following qualifications that are currently accredited by STA:
- STA Professional Award for Pool Lifeguard at SCQF Level 7
- STA Professional Award for Pool Responder at SCQF Level 7
- STA Professional Award in Pool Emergency Procedures at SCQF Level 6
- STA Professional Award in Teaching Swimming at SCQF Level 6
- STA Professional Certificate in Teaching Swimming.
An extension to these qualifications will mean that course organisers in Scotland are able to continue to register these awards under the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). SQA are responsible for the quality assurance of qualifications offered to learners in Scotland. They regulate awarding bodies and their qualifications to ensure compliance with their regulatory requirements.
In order to continue to ensure that our qualifications continue to meet the needs of learners in Scotland, STA is currently in the process of establishing a Scottish working group.
If you would like to be involved in shaping the future of qualifications in Scotland by participating in this group, please contact us.
