When support is available
Youth Achievement Awards (YAA) are nationally recognised awards in Scotland that help young people get credit for their personal learning and achievements. These awards are flexible and can be earned through activities they are already doing or plan to do. The awards are officially recognised by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and appear on the Scottish Qualifications Certificate (SQC), along with school and college qualifications. YAAs are rated on the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) at levels 4 to 7, offering a clear path for young people to progress.
