This year almost 150,000 learners across Scotland are receiving their Qualifications Scotland results. Skills Development Scotland (SDS) Results Helpline will once again provide free, impartial advice and guidance, helping these young people and their families understand their options and plan their next steps.
The SDS Results Helpline number is 0808 100 8000 and will go live at 8am on Results Day, Tuesday 4 August 2026.
The Results Helpline is delivered entirely remotely, with careers advisers working from their homes, SDS centres and community delivery sites supporting callers from across the country. The team of volunteer experts will be backed by the dedicated Results Helpline project team.
Advisers will have bespoke access to information on:
- Course vacancies at colleges and universities
- Confirmation and clearing
- Foundation, modern, and graduate apprenticeships
- Jobs, volunteering, and training
- Staying on at school
The SDS Results Helpline 2026 opening hours are:
- Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 August - 8am to 8pm
- Thursday 6 and Friday 7 August - 9am to 5pm.
