Science (AQA Entry Level Certificate) (NOCN Entry Level award) 

At VTC we want our students to engage, explore, enjoy and succeed in science. By putting students at the heart of everything we do, our aim is to help them achieve success. 

​

Entry Level Certificates (ELCs) are nationally recognised qualifications which give students the opportunity to achieve a certificated award. The ELC Science specification can also be taught with GCSE Combined Sciences to suit students who are studying both qualifications. The assessments are on demand so we can complete assignments when they are ready, helping to keep students motivated.  

Progression 

​

As an approved Entry Level qualification, the ELC Science specification provides excellent progression to GCSE studies particularly in GCSE Combined Science: Trilogy and GCSE Combined Science: Synergy. 

The ELC provides flexibility, but on a clear progression pathway. It equips students with skills and knowledge transferable to both educational and career settings, and provides a worthwhile course for students of various ages and from diverse backgrounds in terms of general education and lifelong learning.
