Have Your Say on built environment, engineering and health and social care, and childcare

Qualifications Wales launches consultation on National 14-16 Qualifications in built environment, engineering, and health and social care and childcare.

Qualifications Wales is seeking your views on whether National 14-16 Qualifications in built environment, engineering and health and social care and, childcare should be offered as VCSEs or as GCSEs.

As part of our Made-for-Wales GCSE consultation we previously confirmed that there would be GCSE qualifications in built environment, engineering, health and social care and, childcare.

Since then, we have developed the National 14-16 Qualifications offer further, including the creation of a new VCSE brand and are now seeking your views on the whether these subjects, proposed as GCSEs, might be better placed as VCSEs.

• impact of developing these qualifications as VCSEs
• VCSE brand
