Eduqas

Eduqas is a brand of the British examination board WJEC[1], announced on 29 April 2014, which was created to respond to differing education systems between England and Wales from September 2015. From that date all reformed qualifications offered by WJEC in England are branded Eduqas, whilst those in Wales continue to be branded WJEC. Current qualifications which were being delivered in England continued to be branded WJEC until they were reformed.

Reformed Qualifications

From 2015, Eduqas offered Ofqual reformed [2]GCSEs, AS and A Levels and other Level 3 qualifications such as Diploma/Certificate in Criminology or Medical Science[3][4] to schools and colleges in England, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and the independent sector in Wales. GCSEs in England are regulated by Ofqual and are now graded 9-1 instead of A*-G. Independent schools in Wales, schools in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands may choose between qualifications regulated by Ofqual and those regulated by the Welsh Government.
