Awarding Vocational Qualifications - summer 2020

Awarding Vocational Qualifications - summer 2020

We welcome Ofqual’s clarification on the approach awarding organisations will need to take in awarding vocational, technical and other general qualifications this summer, as a result of the Secretary of State for Education’s announcement that exams in schools and colleges would be cancelled in order to help fight the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).  

 

We will engage with Ofqual as soon as possible to discuss and agree our approach to awarding the following WJEC qualifications:

  • Vocational Awards (Level 1/2 Technical Awards)
  • Applied Certificates and Diplomas (Level 3 Applied General Qualifications)
  • Latin Language Qualifications
  • Additional Maths
  • Entry Level Certificates
  • Foundation Diploma in Art and Design
  • Essential Skills for Work and Life
  • Pathways Qualifications (including Entry Pathways and Language qualifications)

 

Once we are assured that our approaches meet regulatory requirements we will contact our centres to provide detailed information on the next steps. 

 

We thank you for your continued support and patience during this challenging and unprecedented times,  as we progress in finalising arrangements to ensure that our learners receive a fair qualification grade this summer so they can progress.
