Reading sources about the Welsh economy and Welsh language
Learners read information from Careers Wales, the Welsh Language Commissioner, news articles and case studies of Welsh companies to build the knowledge the criteria assess, such as how a sector relates to the international economy. The overview says Level 1 and Level 2 learners will begin to use different sources of information. The reading itself is suggested, not assessed.

Da gwybod
- Each level has its own unit code: "Unit Codes S669E1" through S669L2, and the unit is worth "GLH 10" (Unit overview, page 3).
- Writing is not the only route: "While evidence may be verbal, written, practical, or visual, extended written work is not required unless appropriate" (Sources of evidence, page 11).
- Spelling is not marked here: "Assessor judgements should focus on meeting the standard, not spelling or presentation unless specifically assessed" (Sources of evidence, page 11).
- No special equipment is needed: "Assessment of this unit should not require any specific resources" (Resources required for assessment, page 12).
- Suggested assessment tasks "are not mandatory". Teachers may use, adapt or replace them (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- Evidence types include "video/audio recordings" and "teacher/assessor questioning", so spoken answers count (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.1, page 18).
- AI tools may be used "When properly referenced", but misuse includes "Copying or paraphrasing whole responses of AI-generated content" (Skills for Life and Work specification, section 4.6, page 21).
- Where a criterion uses a plural without a number, "a plural reference within assessment criterion refers to a minimum of two" (pages 5 and 7).
