The Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification - Bagloriaeth Cymru

Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification

NEW – From September 2008, PRP Training are pleased to be able to offer the Welsh Baccalaureate Qualification (WBQ).

The WBQ is an existing qualification for students in Wales that adds a valuable new dimension to the subjects and courses already available for students.

The qualification combines personal development with existing qualifications like A Levels, GCSEs or NVQs, to make one wider award that develops work-based competencies and helps to make a new recruit more effective.

The WBQ complements traditional academic and vocational qualifications. It develops applied skills and gives students valuable experience in business and industry situations.

WBQ students get experience of the real world. They get involved in teamwork, go on placements and have to use their own initiative – just as a prospective employee should.

To achieve the qualification, they must complete a Core programme of personal development studies which includes:

- 6 Key skills: Application of number, problem solving, improve own learning and performance, information and communication technology, communications, and working with others
- Work experience: spending time in a work situation
- Team Enterprise: Where they experience what it means to run a ‘business’
- Community work: spending time helping the community
- An individual investigation: a research project of their choice
- Wales, Europe and the World: putting Wales in context
- Personal Skills: such as planning and time-management

PRP Training are able to offer 2 levels of study:

- The advanced diploma course is studied alongside NVQ level 3. The practical tasks and projects undertaken are appropriate to students at this level. The advanced diploma is accepted by universities as ebullient to an extra ‘A’ at A Level and is usually included in their offers for places.

- The intermediate diploma course is studied alongside NVQ level 2. The practical tasks and projects undertaken are appropriate to students at this level.

For further information about the WBQ please contact PRP via one of the methods listed below.
