Arrangements for candidates completing GCSEs and A levels in Summer 2021

Skills Challenge Certificate – revised awarding arrangements

09/02/2021

Following Qualifications Wales’ announcement and in light of the on-going disruption to teaching and learning caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, we have revised the arrangements for awarding the Skills Challenge Certificate (SCC) qualifications this summer.

Learners who are certificating this summer will be awarded a holistic grade based on their demonstration of each of the skills assessed through the Skills Challenge Certificate, four skills at National/Foundation and seven skills at Advanced.

We have identified a number of different routes intended to give centres options and some choice on how to determine a holistic grade based on the levels of skills demonstrated.

Further information will be sent to centres today (09/02/21).
