Scotland has its own education system managed by a large number of people near Edinburgh and Glasgow (two locations) called the SQA.

It is VERY hard to understand versus other countries, even England right next door. Much worse its evolviong so one year does not equate readily to the next, a nightmare for HR Managers. The EU says:-

It is VERY hard to understand versus other countries, even England right next door. Much worse its evolviong so one year does not equate readily to the next, a nightmare for HR Managers. The EU says:-
According to the EU, the Scottish SQA Standard grade General level is equal to level 2, which for England is GCSE grade D and below
Standard Grade Credit is EU level 3 which in England is GCSE A - C
Scottish Higher is equal to level 4 which for England is GCSE A level
Scottish Advanced Higher is level 5 for which there is no English school equivalent (although its equal to an HNC/D)
Now I am not sure this is even accurate, for example based on the first two, one might surmise that a Scottish Higher grade 1-3 might be an A level grade D, which is why Universities demand Advanced Highers, otherwise why would they? it isn't clear even on the EU site.
There may have been many complaints about GCE, but I have traveled the world and I know that in hundreds of countries it is the standard of education, one knows what it means. More importantly HR managers the world over know what it means.
