Schools (14-16) - V Certs
Develop a broad and balanced Key Stage 4 curriculum with V Cert Technical Awards
Offering academic and technical qualifications helps you create an engaging curriculum that meets every pupil’s needs. These inclusive qualifications help learners discover their strengths and make confident choices about their future. They can also be combined with our wider offer.
V Certs offer a technical route that works alongside your Key Stage 4 curriculum and supports Progress 8. Read our Performance Tables Guide to see which V Certs carry performance points.
We’re here to help you build a programme that supports every learner and strengthens results across your school.
Why choose V Certs?

- Ongoing support: including free classroom packs, 1:1 support from our team, and regular subject-specific CPD for teachers.
- Navigating V Levels?
We're here to help you understand the reformed KS5 qualifications landscape, including how V Levels will sit alongside A Levels from 2027. Learn more about V Levels and what they could mean for your learners.
