A practical guide to Scottish qualification certificates and coordinated college or university diploma and transcript requests.
Scottish qualification starting points
Higher National Diplomas, Higher National Certificates and Scottish Vocational Qualifications cover the most common college and vocational document requests for Scotland.
When to use a precise-match set
Choose the diploma and transcript set when the college or university documents need to coordinate as one request rather than separate certificates.
A4 production
Scotland catalogue products are prepared in A4, the only size offered for these formats.
Details that speed up production
Share the college or awarding body, qualification title, recipient name, year and whether you need proof review before printing.
Compare samples before you choose
The samples on this page show typical layouts for school qualification, transcript or certificate orders in Scotland. They are reference designs made by our own team and shown with watermarks, so you can judge spacing, fonts, seal placement and paper colour before you choose a product.
What happens after you order
Every order starts with a human designer, not an automatic generator. We have made replica documents since 2001, and a designer prepares a digital proof for you to check, usually within 1โ2 business days. Production only begins after you approve the proof, so names, dates and layout are confirmed first.
Paper, seals and finishing
You can choose the paper stock and, where a design supports it, finishing such as gold foil, raised or embossed seals and holograms. If you are unsure which layout suits your SQA, college and university document, ask for a free watermarked digital sample before you order.
Shipping, rush options and support
Finished documents ship in plain, unmarked packaging with tracking, and express options are shown at checkout. Rush production of 3โ5 days is available when a deadline is close. Browse the Scotland catalogue to compare diplomas, transcripts, certificates and document sets; each product page lists its price and options. Questions about a Scotland order go to our private support team by text or email during business hours. Include your order number, or the SQA, college and university details you have in mind, and we will point you to the closest design.
Novelty and replacement use only
All of our documents are novelty and replacement-style pieces for display, keepsake, gift and prop use. They are not issued by any school in Scotland, they carry no accreditation, and they should never be presented as an official record.
