Entry Pathways 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
Entry Pathways Units in the WJEC Entry Pathways are available at four levels: • Entry 1 • Entry 2 • Entry 3 • Level 1 which lead to (three sizes) of qualification • Award (8 or more credits) • Certificate (13 or more credits) • Diploma (37 or more credits)
Entry Pathways Award (up to 12 credits): at least 5 credits must come from units at or above the level of the qualification Certificate (13 or more credits): at least 7 credits must come from units at or above the level of the qualification Diploma (37 or more credits): at least 19 credits must come from units at or above the level of the qualification

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
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.
Entry Level Certificate • Learners who are struggling with the accessing an untiered GCSE English & more demanding GCSE Maths & Science examinations. • Learners who need more practical support in achieving their outcomes. • Learners who need confidence building ahead of starting a GCSE qualification. • Learners who need a flexible assessment approach. • Learners who are working below the attainment credited at GCSE.
