SQA National 5 and Higher Sciences are becoming more and more crucial as qualifications for entry to work, college or university.  The vast majority of growth sectors in the world right now are in STEM industries and this is only going to increase.  As the demand for people with STEM qualifications continues to grow, it’s easier than many think to gain National 5 or Higher qualifications in Biology, Chemistry and Physics, even for people outside of secondary school.  There’s a misconception that mature students, or home-educated learners in Scotland need to opt for qualifications outside of SQA offers, some even opt for courses that are delivered outside of Scotland with little or no relevance to our own curriculum, there is absolutely no need for this! 

 

Saturday School Ltd has the solution for anyone looking to take a Science National Qualification and we provide everything that’s required to complete the externally assessed practical assignment as well as the final exam, so there’s no need to look towards providers outside of Scotland or to take a less relevant qualification.
