VCSE Built Environment
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
VCSE Built Environment asks learners to know how apps, digital mapping, GIS, photography and drones support site analysis, to research a Welsh building project, and to plan projects and compare options, but most marks come from hands-on trade work. Unit 1 can be sat on screen, Unit 2 responses must be submitted digitally, and Unit 3 practical work reaches the moderator only as photographs or recordings, with no software named anywhere. The single biggest thing KS3 should build is clear photo and video recording of practical work, saved and named so it can stand as evidence, alongside simple spreadsheet planning.

Photographing and recording practical work as evidence
Unit 3 evidence for moderation must be submitted digitally as photographs or recordings of the construction tasks in all three chosen trades. Clear images or video that show accuracy, level, joints and finish are all the moderator sees of the practical work, so they need to be well framed and well organised.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils photograph a finished practical piece on an iPad from three angles, crop the images and save them in a clearly named folder.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils take a sequence of progress photos during a making task, with a ruler or spirit level in shot, and add a one-line caption to each in PowerPoint.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils film a 60 second clip showing how they checked a piece of work for level and square, trim it in Clipchamp, and save it with a clear file name in a file type that others can open.

Producing and submitting written or recorded responses digitally
Unit 2 responses must be submitted digitally, typed or as scanned handwriting, and the case study and tasks are available on Portal. The Unit 3 evaluation may be scanned handwriting, completed electronically, or an audio or audio-visual response, and it must be presented logically and professionally.

Paratoi disgyblion
- Blwyddyn 7
- Pupils type a short report on a building visit in Word with a heading and a photo, save it with a clear name and upload it to Teams.
- Blwyddyn 8
- Pupils scan a handwritten answer with the iPad camera, check it is readable, and submit it as a PDF to Teams alongside a typed version.
- Blwyddyn 9
- Pupils record a two minute spoken evaluation of a practical task on an iPad using trade terms, then type a structured written version and submit both to Teams.

Da gwybod
- Unit 1 can be sat on paper or on screen: "Centres may enter candidates for either a paper-based or an onscreen version of the test" (Section 3.2, page 42).
- Typing is optional for Unit 2: "The assessment must be submitted digitally, either as scanned handwritten responses or completed digitally" (Section 3.2, page 42).
- Unit 3 practical work reaches the moderator only as images or video: evidence "must be submitted digitally, either as scanned photographs or recordings of the construction tasks completed" (Section 3.2, page 43).
- No software is named. For Unit 2 "There are no specific requirements for assessment" (page 21), and for the Unit 1 on-screen test centres are pointed to the WJEC website for system requirements (page 12).
- Rules on AI are not in the specification. Further information "including information on the use of AI" is in the WJEC guides to conducting non-examination assessment, and "learners will be supervised by a teacher while completing assessment tasks" (Section 3.3, page 43).
- Appendix A maps Data and Computational Thinking to Units 1 and 2 but not Unit 3, and Citizenship to only four sections, 1.1.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.3.3 (pages 50 to 51).
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Site analysis, land use and flood risk overlap with GCSE Geography, and choosing materials and planning a sequence of work overlap with GCSE Design and Technology, so shared KS3 work on digital maps and spreadsheet comparisons would serve all three.
