Common questions about Scottish Qualifications Authority
- Is Scottish Qualifications Authority a licensed UK visa sponsor?
- Yes. Scottish Qualifications Authority in Midlothian holds a UK sponsor licence and appears on the Home Office register of licensed sponsors, where it has been listed since 2013. That means it is permitted to sponsor eligible workers from overseas, though a licence is permission to sponsor rather than a guarantee that any particular vacancy is open to sponsorship.
- What visa routes can Scottish Qualifications Authority sponsor?
- Scottish Qualifications Authority is licensed for Skilled Worker. Its licence is recorded on the register as "Worker (A rating)" — the rating reflects the Home Office's confidence in the sponsor's compliance record.
- Where is Scottish Qualifications Authority based?
- The register lists Scottish Qualifications Authority at Midlothian. This is the address on the sponsor licence, which is usually the head office — a sponsored role may be based at a different site.
- How current is this information?
- This page is built from the UK Home Office register of licensed sponsors. We resync the register daily and keep a dated history of every addition and removal. The register itself is the authoritative source — always confirm on GOV.UK before relying on a licence status.
