Welcome back! I wanted to start this first newsletter of the year by recapping on the last academic year.

Despite the mounting pressures on your Key Stage 4 curriculum and timetables, it is great to see so many of you continuing to offer a broad range of vocational qualifications in schools. Last year alone we saw over 10,000 pupils registered on our V Cert qualifications with thousands more registered on our broader range. This demonstrates the continued value in having subjects that appeal to different learning styles whilst providing hands on practical insight into subjects and topics.

For me it is also fantastic to see vocational qualifications continuing to play an important role in the development of your pupils. A testament to their engaging and flexible nature.

Of course, this month also sees the opening of registrations for our brand new additions to the V Cert range. Available across Health & Fitness, Food & Cookery and Engineering, there is a broad range of new and relevant vocational subjects to the V Certs range. What’s more, these will also continue to be support by our range of resources and ongoing support.

To find out more about our range of qualifications then please email [email protected].
