NEW: WJEC is pleased to inform Centres that its Level 1 and Level 2 Certificates in Latin are unaffected by recent announcements concerning the inclusion of non-GCSE assessments eligible for performance table measures. All units will continue to be offered and will carry the current performance points. The Certificates, with the options of January sessions and Controlled Assessment, will offer greater flexibility than the new linear GCSE. We continue to press for the inclusion of the Level 2 Certificates in the English Baccalaureate.

 The WJEC Level 1 and 2 Certificates in Latin provide flexible and motivating courses which can be used as 'stepping stones' or as a complete alternative to GCSE. The Certificates are fully accredited and listed under Section 96 for funding and reporting in Performance Measures. Each certificate is graded A*-C at the relevant level and carries points consistent with GCSE. (e.g. Grade C in the Level 2 Latin Language Certificate carries 40 performance points).

 Key features

  • Core Language unit plus Additional Language unit lead to Latin Language Certificate
  • Core Language unit plus Roman Civilisation unit lead to Latin Language and Roman Civilisation Certificate
  • Latin Literature is recognised through a separate two-unit Certificate
  • All units are available at both Level 1 and Level 2
  • Options for Controlled Assessment units in Roman Civilisation and Latin Literature

Resources

Specifications, specimen assessment materials and prescribed texts for the Certificates at both levels are available.

Level 1 Roman Civilisation Topics: Prescribed sources are available for Topic 1 and Topic 2.

Level 2 Roman Civilisation Topics: there is no source document prescribed for this Level but a document illustrating the sort of material teachers might use in teaching these topics is available on the CSCP website.

Further support and free teaching and learning materials, including vocabulary testers, online 'explorer' versions of the texts, audio and weblinks, are available from the CSCP website.
