The Qualifications dataset encapsulates the results of Scottish Qualification Authority examinations. Each record contains detailed information about the qualification being undertaken as well as the overall result. Further information is provided in the associated documentation on the qualifications in the qualifications reference dataset, which is helpful for comparing qualification results across different qualification levels and comparing old courses with their newer equivalents.
