We\u2019re thrilled to be in Oban for this year\u2019s Royal National M\u00f2d, cheering on participants of all ages as they showcase the best of Gaelic language and culture.<\/p>\n
SQA has had the privilege of supporting this event \u2013 the world\u2019s biggest Gaelic festival \u2013 for many years, and we regard it as a fantastic opportunity to raise the profile of the language.<\/p>\n
The way we are able to do this all-year round is through our wide range of Gaelic qualifications.<\/p>\n
Whether you\u2019re new to the language, or a fluent speaker looking to have your skills formally recognised, we offer a Gaelic qualification at the right Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) level for you.<\/p>\n
Introduce yourself to the language with our Gaelic (Learners) qualifications<\/a>, which will not only develop your language skills, but will also see you learn about Gaelic history and culture.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, our G\u00e0idhlig qualifications<\/a> enable fluent speakers to build on their literacy skills, including through the study of a wide range of texts.<\/p>\n Another way we ensure fluent speakers can maintain their exposure to the language is through our Gaelic medium qualifications<\/a>.<\/p>\n These allow secondary school pupils to undertake a number of National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher exams in Gaelic.<\/p>\n In an exciting new development, Scottish Vocational Qualifications and Foundation Apprenticeships in Social Services and Creative Media can now also be studied in Gaelic.<\/p>\n One of my personal favourites is our Modern Languages for Life and Work Awards<\/a>, which are also being undertaken in schools.<\/p>\n However, the flexible nature of this qualification means it\u2019s a great option for anyone with an interest in Gaelic language and culture.<\/p>\n You can also quickly put your new skills to use, as you\u2019ll learn the language in the context of everyday life, culture and employment.<\/p>\n The employment element is contained within a Modern Languages for Work Purposes Unit, which can be undertaken individually \u2013 perfect if you need to quickly get to grips with some key phrases!<\/p>\n The flexibility of our Gaelic qualifications extends to our individual National Units<\/a>, which allow you to select from Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing.<\/p>\n These Units are a favourite of Royal National M\u00f2d participants, who have used them when preparing for the competition.<\/p>\n They also form part of our National Certificates and National Progression Awards<\/a>, allowing you to progress your Gaelic studies, should you be inspired to do so.<\/p>\n You can find details of all our Gaelic qualifications, as well as our Gaelic Language Plan 2022-2025, by visiting sqa.org.uk\/gaelic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Everyone at SQA would like to wish competitors in this year\u2019s Royal National M\u00f2d \u2018deagh fhortan\/good luck\u2019!<\/p>\n *********************************************************************************************************<\/p>\n Tha sinn air ar d\u00f2igh gu m\u00f2r a
