Diplomas and work-related
Diplomas are the new qualifications for 14 to 19 year olds which herald the biggest change to the 14 to 19 curriculum for many years. Sitting alongside GCSEs and A levels, they offer young people the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills within an applied, sector-focused context. In addition to the occupationally-related Diplomas, there will now also be a stand-alone languages Diploma which will be ready for delivery in 2011.
Work-related language courses are being taught increasingly widely in schools, as they have been in FE for many years. They offer an alternative and motivating experience for language learners.
