Cefais gyfarfod hefyd gyda John McCormick, a fu'n Gadeirydd SQA am bedair blynedd, o 2004 i 2008. SQA a ymgymerodd â swyddogaethau Bwrdd Arholi'r Alban a Chyngor Addysg Alwedigaethol yr Alban ym 1997.  Roedd hwn yn gyfarfod gwerthfawr arall. Mae profiad John McCormick o oruchwylio'r sefydliad hwnnw yn berthnasol iawn i'r gwaith y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn ei wneud wrth sefydlu Cymwysterau Cymru.
I also met John McCormick, who was Chair of SQA for four years, from 2004 to 2008. SQA took over the functions of the Scottish Examinations Board and the Scottish Vocational Education Council in 1997.  This was another valuable meeting. John McCormick’s experience of the oversight of SQA is highly relevant to the work which the Welsh Government will be undertaking in the establishment of Qualifications Wales.
