Eurocognos is a Scottish Qualifications Authority) (SQA) approved Exam Centre. This means students can be enrolled to study and sit official exams entirely outwith of their usual school.

Courses

Under the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence, many local authorities have reduced the number of subjects a pupil can sit at National 5 level to six, thus making it difficult for young people to fit a language into their exam diet.
