Overview

OCR has been at the forefront of developing functional skills assessments. This experience, backed up by extensive research and evaluation from our three year pilot, has given us a unique insight into what functionality means to assessment design. We would like to thank the dedication and commitment of the 1,700 schools, colleges and learning providers who have made all this possible.
