🏅 Personal Effectiveness · works toward PEQ Entry 3 Award / Extended Award / Certificate across the year (Entry 3 primary, Level 1 stretch, in 2026/27). This Autumn 1 module completes Communication skills (ComSkE3 · ComSk1 (stretch)). Every lesson ends with Documentarian photo + annotation + witness tick; the Stretch tier is written to the Level 1 evidence standard, for the few pupils working above Entry 3 (a staff-directed Level 2 route sits in-deck; registration at any level stays a coordinator decision). PEQ candidates are registered with ASDAN and their units are entered.
Accreditation facts for staff (spec v1.2). Entry 3 sizes (the primary route for this cohort): Award 4 credits (all at level) · Extended Award 9 (min 6 at level) · Certificate 14 (min 11 at level). All six E3 units = exactly 14 credits, every one at level, so a full year homes an E3 Certificate outright with no adjacent-credit accounting at all. Level 1 sizes (the stretch route, for the 2–4 pupils working above Entry 3): Award 4 · Extended Award 9 · Certificate 14 (max 3 adjacent-level credits — in practice only one adjacent unit can ever count); all six L1 units = 15 credits. SMART is introduced but NOT assessed at Entry 3 team working — the SMART minimum sits only at TmWkSk1, so no task may gate the E3 unit on producing SMART targets. Partial achievement still certificates at unit level. The 10-hour plan-use window applies to every skill except Communication. RPL reaches back three years and can include ASDAN Short Course achievement. Assessment records need assessor and learner signatures; IQA before EQA; the first-year EQA sampling visit must be booked during this first delivery year (coordinator action). Unit and level attribution is the centre coordinator’s decision — nothing is promised to a learner.
