SCHOOL/SUBJECT
The Welsh Baccalaureate, or Welsh Bac is a nationally recognised qualification aimed at improving the skills that employers and universities are looking for. The College offers the Welsh Baccalaureate at Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced Level, and gives you the option to choose from a range of vocational courses (see below). At the same time you work on core subjects such as Key Skills, Wales, Europe, the World, Work Related Education plus Personal & Social.
The Welsh Bac is being welcomed by Universities throughout the UK. UCAS (the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service) allocates 120 tariff points to the Welsh Bac Advanced Diploma (equivalent to an A grade at A Level). This is in addition to the points awarded for the option part of the course (e.g. the National Diploma)
