Our suite of Entry Pathways qualifications cover a range of subjects and enable centres to support personalised learning programmes for their learners through:
combining units to create programmes of study suited to individual learners’ needs;
eliciting the required assessment evidence from integrated programmes of work at appropriate points during the course;
recognising completion of each unit as well as the qualification as a whole

16. Entry Level Certificate
Entry Level Certificates in English, Maths and Science are suitable for learners who may not have reached level 3 at the end of Key Stage 3 or are working at a level below that required for a grade 1 at GCSE. They have been designed as a one- or two-year course that can be delivered in schools alongside GCSEs

17. Entry Level Certificate
Given the changes to qualifications in England and Wales, WJEC thought the time was right to reform the Entry Level Certificate in English, Maths & Science qualifications that have always provided an alternative pathway to those learners working below the lowest attainment at GCSE.
The assessment structure is now more closely aligned with the GCSE qualifications, but still offers a supported route through the curriculum.
