A Dual Accreditation scheme at GCSE which allowed candidates to study for a GCSE grade in Geography and in RSA CLAIT concurrently was evaluated. The potential benefits and disadvantages on the learners was examined though interview and questionnaire with a class of Geography students and with members of the Geography Department. A decision to adopt the scheme was deferred for one year.
