Our structure and committees
We are led by our Board with support from an Executive Management Team, Strategic Advisory Council, and several committees. They work together to make sure we deliver our purpose, vision and mission.
Board
Our Board consists of a chair, the chief executive, and 13 other members appointed by the Scottish Government. They bring experience from across Scottish education and industry. Some are currently practising teachers and college lecturers, and this helps to keep a strong focus on the needs and view of learners and educators.
The Board makes sure we meet our statutory responsibilities, deliver Scottish Government policies and priorities, and use resources effectively.

Committees
Several committees support, and report to, the Board. Each committee meets several times a year.
New Learner Interest Committee and Teacher and Practitioner Interest Committee
We’re setting up two new committees to put learners and educators at the heart of decision making in Qualifications Scotland:
A Learner Interest Committee – members will include a range of learners who are studying, or have recently studied, our qualifications.
A Teacher and Practitioner Interest Committee – members will include teachers, college lecturers and people in teacher training.
These committees will help us develop two new charters setting out what learners and educators can expect from us.
