Which qualifications does the key skills relaxation or proxy rule apply to?

• GCSE grades A – C These give a full relaxation from the appropriate key skill at Level 2 and may also be used where the key skill requirement is at Level 1. • GCSE grades D – G and ‘A’/’AS’ Level grades A – E These grades are a proxy for test only for the appropriate key skill. The Level of the key skill depends on the level of the portfolio completed by the apprentice. The apprentice must therefore be registered with the awarding body and must complete a KS Level 1 portfolio for Apprentices (Level 2) and a KS Level 2 portfolio for Advanced Apprentices (Level 3). The awarding body will issue a full key skill certificate, which should be submitted with the request for apprenticeship certification. • If you have Scottish, Welsh or Irish qualifications please go to www.qca.org.uk for a full list of approved proxy qualifications.
