In 2026, Scotland celebrates a significant milestone — 25 years of the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF). To mark this achievement, the organisation is hosting the SCQF@25 Conference, a national event bringing together voices from across Scotland’s learning, skills and employment landscape.
The conference will be held on 22 September at the Glasgow Science Centre.
Bringing together leaders from education, skills, training, industry and government, the conference will explore the impact of the SCQF over the past 25 years and look ahead to the opportunities and challenges facing Scotland’s learning and skills landscape.
The conference will be hosted by Stuart McKenna, Chief Executive, Scottish Training Federation, with keynote contributions from The Real David Cameron, an experienced mentor and consultant, and Dr Lee Coutts, head teacher of Ullapool High School, whose inspiring educational journey demonstrates the transformative power of learning.
Delegates will have the opportunity to participate in a series of interactive workshops exploring some of the key challenges and opportunities facing Scotland’s education and skills system.
Whether you work in a school, college, university, training provider, professional body, or are an employer, SCQF@25 offers a unique opportunity to connect, learn and be part of the conversation about the future of qualifications and skills in Scotland.
