1.1 Why choose AQA for ELC Maths

Maths is for everyone. It is diverse, engaging and essential in equipping students with the right skills to reach their future destination, whatever that may be. At AQA, we design qualifications and support to enable students to engage, explore, enjoy and succeed in maths. By putting students at the heart of everything we do, our aim is to support teachers to shape what success in maths looks like for every student.

Entry Level Certificates (ELCs) are a nationally recognised qualification that gives students the opportunity to achieve a certificated award. Our ELC provides basic and relevant numeracy skills and is suitable for students of all ages. The specification is co-teachable with our GCSE, to suit students who are studying both qualifications. Our ELC aims to build students’ confidence in maths, including those studying at GCSE Foundation tier. The assessment is on demand so your students can complete assignments when they’re ready, helping to keep them motivated. Like all of our mathematics qualifications, we use straightforward language in our tests to allow students to focus on the maths and achieve the results they deserve.
