VCSE Hospitality and Catering
Mae disgrifiad y cymhwyster yn Saesneg yn unig, gan ei fod wedi ei gymryd o fanyleb Saesneg CBAC.
VCSE Hospitality and Catering asks learners to sit Unit 2 as a 30 question multiple-choice test on screen, to submit every non-examination assessment digitally with photographs of practical outcomes, and, in the Unit 4 option, to choose and create digital and social media to promote a hospitality event. Written evidence may be handwritten and scanned, no software is named, and WJEC's own mapping links digital competence only to section 4.2.1, so most of the digital demand sits in whichever 70% unit a centre chooses. The single biggest thing KS3 should build is the routine of photographing, saving and organising practical work in clear digital files, alongside simple spreadsheets for temperature logs and costing.

Answering multiple-choice questions in an on-screen examination
Unit 2 is a one hour digital examination of 30 multiple-choice questions on food safety, hygiene and allergens, taken on screen only through WJEC's e-assessment platform under invigilated conditions and auto-marked. Learners need to read each question on screen, select and review answers, and manage their time in the test.

Choosing and creating digital and social media to promote an event
In Unit 4 learners must tell print media apart from digital and social media, choose suitable media to promote their hospitality event, and be aware of the cost and environmental impact of each. Websites, email campaigns, podcasts, blogs, videos, Instagram, WhatsApp and YouTube are given as examples, and centres must provide computers, design software and internet access.

Da gwybod
- Unit 2 is taken on screen only: "The assessment will be available onscreen only, via Surpass." (Summary of assessment, page 5). It is 30 questions, auto-marked, with an approximate pass mark of 75% (Section 3.2, page 53), and candidates "must have access to a device that matches or exceeds the minimum requirements" (Unit 2, page 23).
- Typing is optional but submission is digital: "The assessment must be submitted digitally, either as scanned handwritten responses or completed digitally." (Unit 1, page 53), and Units 3 and 4 may be "completed electronically" or scanned (page 54).
- Unit 3 centres must provide "IT access, including devices or systems for learners to document, store, and present their work digitally" and a camera or mobile device for visual evidence (Resources required for assessment, page 35).
- Unit 4 centres must provide "ICT resources (computers, design software, internet access)" (page 44), but no software is named anywhere in the specification.
- The front cover warns that "The UK Government has announced plans to restrict social media use by children under 16, which may impact some of our qualifications." This matters for the Instagram, WhatsApp and YouTube examples in Unit 4, section 4.2.1 (page 46).
- NEA tasks are supervised: "Learners must be supervised by a teacher while completing assessment tasks." (Section 3.3, page 55). Appendix C (page 66) maps digital competence only to Unit 4, section 4.2.1, for Interacting and Collaborating and Producing, with nothing for Citizenship or Data and Computational Thinking.
Cysylltiadau â chymwysterau eraill
Digital NEA submission, photographing practical outcomes, temperature records and timed production plans match the demand in GCSE Food and Nutrition, and the Unit 4 event promotion, budgeting and customer feedback overlap with GCSE Business, so a shared KS3 routine of Forms, Excel and photo evidence would serve all three.
