TYSTYSGRIF HER SGILIAU

The Welsh Baccalaureate is delivered over two years and awarded at the end of Year 13. Grades awarded range from
A*-E. There is no examination involved but to meet the qualification’s requirements, students submit portfolios of
evidence. The emphasis is very much on learning through doing. The focus of the Welsh Baccalaureate at Advance level
is to provide a vehicle to consolidate and progress the development of essential and employability skills. The qualification
will help learners develop more complex skills, attributes and behaviours. It will provide experiences which will enable
learners to be better prepared for their future destination, whether university, further training or employment.

The Welsh Baccalaureate is based on a Skills Challenge Certificate alongside Supporting Qualifications. The requirements
of both the Skills Challenge Certificate and Support Qualification must be met in order to achieve the overarching
Welsh Baccalaureate.
