All rights reserved. 3  \nWho is it for?  \n• Entry Level Certificate is typically aimed at learners with lower levels of attainment or those who may struggle with exam-based qualifications.  \n• Entry level qualifications generally are below GCSE level and are available at three sublevels: Entry Levels 1, 2 and 3.  \n• Entry level 3 is the most difficult & is just below a Grade 1 GCSE.  \n• ELC (and EL FS) does not count in school performance measures.  \nContexts  \n• I have a few students in Y11 doing ELC aswell as GCSE using the  mapped course planner.  \n• My students are entered for FS, ELC and GCSE. They are in mainstream classes for English but have additional sessions when other students are doing MFL.  \n• Iwork in a small school/special school/AP/PRU where most students have additional needs and are working at different speeds andwill be assessed at different times.  \n• I’m delivering over 1 or 2 years.  \n• My students come and go during the year and we try and assess them as soon as they are ready.  \n• I want to map out assessments over 2 or 3 years so that learners always have a clear learning aim and get a sense of achievement by passing a qualification at a particular level.  \nHow does ELC English compare to Entry Level Functional Skills & other English qualifications?  \nCopyright 2025 Pearson.
