Welsh Bac / SKILLS CHALLENGE
Croeso / welcome to the Welsh bac / SKILLS CHALLENGE department
WHAT IS THE SKILLS CHALLENGE CERTIFICATE?
The Skills Challenge Certificate (SCC) is a qualification that will develop and assess your skills, attributes and behaviours. It sits along side your other qualifications, and you will see that a number of the skills you develop whilst studying the Skills Challenge Certificate will be used while you study your other subjects. They are transferable skills that you should develop and use to show that you can adapt to different circumstances and situations, when working individually or in a team. They are skills that you will need when you leave school to use in the work place, or if you go on to study at sixth form and then on to University.
HOW DOES THE SKILLS CHALLENGE CERTIFICATE FIT INTO THE WELSH BACC?
The KS4 National/Foundation Welsh Baccalaureate is awarded when you have passed the sec and the supporting qualifications shown in the wheel below.
