“We are proud to continue offering a bespoke and comprehensive package of professional learning opportunities for teachers across Wales, helping them deliver our new qualifications with confidence. 

Based on feedback from centres, we are introducing flexible, on-demand materials that practitioners can access at their own convenience. 

Each resource will be delivered by a subject expert and supported by a wide range of accompanying materials. 

In addition, our subject teams will continue to provide practical advice and guidance through our Subject Fora networks.”  

“We're delighted with the development underway to deliver full qualification support for both teachers and learners taking our new Wave 3 qualifications.

We've worked closely with teachers and learners throughout, tailoring each package to the specific needs of each qualification.

The first of these resources will be published in October, with further content added weekly, so teachers have the tools they need.

We are confident that the breadth, depth and quality of the free teaching materials we produce won't be matched.”
