Centres do not need approval for their Controlled assessment items. However, WJEC strongly advises that you use the support of your Controlled Assessment Adviser (CAA) when developing your assessment items. Contact details for your Controlled Assessment adviser will be sent to you from WJEC immediately upon receipt of your initial email submission form (see above). It is hoped that the advice and support you receive from your Controlled Assessment adviser will ensure that you can approach the controlled assessment with the confidence that your students are producing items of work which are both relevant and appropriate to the demands of the new Specification. Further information in relation to controlled assessment can be found in the Teachers Guide (see link above)
