Re-skilling

Learning new skills gives you better opportunities for finding a job, getting promotion at work, or developing a new career. And when you get new academic or vocational qualifications, you earn SCQF credit points that can go towards the learning you may need to do all through your life.

• learning that you can do in college or university, or at work, or in the community
• learning that will earn you academic and/or vocational qualifications that will help you in your career and in your everyday life

For example, SQA Units in Childcare could be used to gain an HN award in Childcare and Education. In the future, some workplace training may also give you credit points. It might also be possible to use credits from an SVQ. For more information contact your local Careers Scotland Office or learn direct scotland.
