A regional form seven qualification administered by SPBEA and will be available for the first time in 2004. Students will generally take the qualification at the end of Form 7 (Year 13) although some may be able to take some subjects at the end of Form 6.
The qualification serves a number of purposes:
· certification at end of secondary (secondary leaving certificate)
· entry qualification to university and other tertiary institutions
· use by employers for employment selection.
The main objective of the SPFSC is for the region to have a qualification that is regionally and internationally recognised and accepted, and more importantly one that is appropriate for the students of the region.
