The WJEC Connect system is a secure area for Verified (on-demand) qualifications where centres can carry out administrative processes.

Centres can make registration bookings for qualifications, request quality assurance/verification sampling, input outcomes and upload evidence electronically (for internal assessments), schedule sessions for confirmatory / multiple choice tests (for external assessments), view external quality assurance/verification feedback, results and print E-Certificates (electronic certificates).
