A Level Geography coursework

Askel counts fieldwork days, checks the proposal is approved before group data collection, and keeps a list of datasets. NEA (non-exam assessment) is coursework marked in school, then checked by the exam board.

Where the admin piles up

Fieldwork brings its own paperwork.

01

Counting fieldwork days

The school signs a statement that each student did at least 4 days.

02

No group data collection before approval

Students can’t collect data as a group until their proposal is approved.

03

Eduqas’s early deadline

The Eduqas sample is due in March, two months before the others.

What Askel records

Built around each board’s rules.

Every feature sits under one of the five steps.

Prove

A fieldwork day log

Each day, who went and what they did. It produces the statement for the board.

Prepare

A check before data collection

Group data collection waits until the proposal is approved.

Show

A list of datasets

Where each dataset came from, and who collected it.

Show

A fingerprint for each draft

So you can show the write-up grew over time.

What stays where it is

Data, photos and the write-up stay where your school keeps them. Askel keeps links, dates and a fingerprint of each file.

Key dates 2026-27

From proposal to marks.

Board dates are fixed. Your school’s dates are Askel’s defaults, and you can change them.

AI rules for Geography

What each board adds.

AI tools, like ChatGPT, can write or change text for you. JCQ’s rules apply to every board: students say which AI tools they used, and keep their prompts and what the tool gave them. Each board adds its own notes.

AQAJCQ’s rules apply. Each milestone in Askel shows a one-line note from the board’s own guidance.AQA guidance
OCRJCQ’s rules apply. Each milestone in Askel shows a one-line note from the board’s own guidance.OCR guidance
PearsonJCQ’s rules apply. Each milestone in Askel shows a one-line note from the board’s own guidance.Pearson guidance
WJEC/EduqasJCQ’s rules apply. Each milestone in Askel shows a one-line note from the board’s own guidance.WJEC/Eduqas guidance

Askel has no AI in it, and never sends students’ work to AI companies.
