SVQs:

Quest (Scotland) Ltd has been delivering SVQs for 18 years now and has an excellent reputation for learner achievement and quality training provision. All our assessors and verifiers are fully competent and continually develop their skills. We have our very own online SVQ portfolio called eQuest which means we can support you wherever you are in the world.

Quest delivers SVQs in a variety of subjects but also assists some companies by acting as their SQA Centre whilst supporting them to achieve Centre Status themselves.

"I managed to combine my qualification at work with my job and family life. I found the SVQ process very enjoyable and rewarding.
