Who is this qualification for?
WJEC Level 1 & 2 Awards in Engineering offer a learning experience that focuses learning for 14-16 year olds through applied learning, i.e. acquiring and applying knowledge, skills and understanding through purposeful tasks set in sector or subject contexts that have many of the characteristics of real work.
The qualification is built from discrete units, but allows for both synoptic learning and assessment. Each unit has an applied purpose which acts as a focus for the learning in the unit. The applied purpose is the vehicle through which the learning contained in the unit is made relevant and purposeful. It is also the means by which learners are enthused, engaged and motivated to study engineering. The applied purpose provides the opportunity for authentic work related learning, but more than this, it will require learners to consider how the use and application of their learning impacts on individuals, employers, society and the environment.
What does the qualification cover?
The WJEC level 1 & 2 will also enable learners to learn in such a way that they develop:
· skills required for independent learning and development
· a range of generic and transferable skills
· the ability to solve problems
· the skills of project based research, development and presentation
· the fundamental ability to work alongside other professionals, in a professional environment
· the ability to apply learning in vocational contexts.
How will I be assessed?
The WJEC level 1 & 2 is mainly coursework based and is internally assessed through assignments that are set and marked by your teacher. One unit (an exam) is externally assessed. The course is equal to 1 GCSE and you can pass the course at four different levels which are equivalent to GCSE grades.
