This time last year we had all of the paperwork for submitting the National 5 coursework material, but so far nothing has been received from SQA regarding the new Higher. Has anyone else got notification yet, or are they just being a bit slow this year?

Hi Alan
What are the dates for submission of the Nat 5 coursework and the Higher?
Cheers

I found a file here which details all of the courses:

http://www.sqa.org.uk/files_ccc/Course_Assessment_Components.xls

According to the spreadsheet centres are to get a visit for National 5 and Higher sometime between 2 March and 29 May! It also says the submission date is 5th May (day before the exam).

That’s going to be some job, visiting every centre. Has anyone had a visit yet?

Hi Alan
I don’t think it would be possible to visit every centre. I think the visits are only if your coursework is being verified? Don’t quote me on that, though.

Yep it seems a bit unlikely. I was assuming that every centre would be getting verified in session 1 though, like N5 was last year.

I don’t think that went well for them!
