Parents' guide
The parents' guide to qualifications (PDF, 1 MB) has been put together by OCR to help you as a parent understand today's qualifications and the different courses on offer at schools and colleges. It will also help you to understand how these qualifications broadly compare.
This is not a comprehensive guide to qualifications, but it is aimed at improving your understanding of the education system.
