Learners in Wales receive their AS level, A level and level 3 vocational qualification results
Thousands of learners across Wales receive their A level, AS level, vocational and Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales qualification results today (14 August).
Congratulating learners, Philip Blaker, Chief Executive at Qualifications Wales said:
“Congratulations to everyone who has got their results today and well done for all the work you’ve put towards completing your qualifications. Results are a big milestone in learners’ lives, and many of you will be looking forward to your next steps – whether that be to work, an apprenticeship, or higher education.
I hope you got the grades that you wanted. If not, don’t worry. There’s lots of information and support available to you. Your school or college can help you with advice and guidance, and there’s information on the Qualifications Wales website with links to organisations that can provide further support.”
Thanking teachers and lecturers, Philip Blaker added:
“Thank you to everyone who has supported learners as they’ve progressed through their courses, especially to teachers, lecturers and other staff at centres for their work throughout the year.
These results clearly demonstrate the commitment of those who prepare and support learners through their studies.”
Formal exams and assessments allow learners to demonstrate what they know, understand and can do. The grades that learners achieve measure their attainment and allow them to progress on to their next steps.
