Support for armed forces leavers and veterans

We'll help you make the most of your military qualifications and get into a civilian career.

Make the transition into civilian life

Leaving the armed forces is a big change – we know you’ll have lots of things to think about.

And starting a new career is an exciting part of your journey into civilian life. We’re here to support you every step of the way.

Start with our military to civilian qualifications tool

Military qualifications are so valuable, and they’re your passport into a new career.

Think about the qualifications you earned in the military. Then, use our military to civilian qualifications tool to see how they compare to civilian qualifications.

Using our tool will help you:

  1. Compare your military qualifications to SCQF levels – the scale which shows the difficulty of qualification in Scotland.
  2. Add your qualifications to your CV in a way employers will understand.
  3. Provide context about your military qualifications at job, college or university interviews.
