Entry Pathways Mathematics

Our Entry Pathways Mathematics specification provides learners, centres and employers, with an inclusive and flexible qualification that recognises the widest possible range of quality-assured learner achievements.

The suite of Entry Level Awards, Certificates and Diplomas are designed to provide learners, learning providers and employers with an inclusive and flexible regulated qualifications framework that recognises the widest possible range of quality-assured learner achievements. These Entry Level qualifications aim to be:

• inclusive – recognising the achievements of all learners at Entry Level through a standard currency of awarding credit;

• responsive – enabling individuals and centres to establish routes to achievement that are appropriate to their needs and facilitate progression;

• accessible – based on clear design features that are easy for all users to understand.

In particular, compared with the subject-based qualifications that preceded them, the qualifications support personalised learning through enabling centres to:

• combine units to create programmes of study suited to individual learners’ needs;

• elicit the required assessment evidence from integrated programmes of work at appropriate points during the course;

• recognise completion of each unit as well as the qualification as a whole.
