The ACW system has recently been updated to prevent the same user login being used multiple times. This is a security feature to help prevent against fraud within the certification process.

You will need to leave it 10-15 mins, clear your cookies and favourites of the ACW site and enter the site manually into the web browser.

Remember to click the logout button when you are finished with the ACW site and don’t just close the tab/browser.

Test to see if your computer is compatible with ACW with our system checker tool.

Changes to Essential Skills Wales

19th November 2015

There are changes underway relating to Essential Skills Wales (ESW), however these are currently awaiting for ministerial approval. The new ESW qualifications will be titled:

•    Essential Communication Skills
•    Essential Application of Number Skills
•    Essential Digital Literacy Skills

The current proposal for the changeover is for the current ESW qualifications to continue to be available for registration until 31 December 2015 with the last certificate date of 31 December 2016. The Federation are in regular communication with the Welsh Government and will post any further updates here.
