Overview

The OCR Creative iMedia suite of qualifications provides candidates with high quality, industry-recognised qualifications. They are vocationally-related qualifications that provide valuable opportunities for individuals to develop skills and gain underpinning knowledge and understanding which will support entry into the Creative Media sector. They support achievement of Key Skills and relate to national occupational standards thereby providing an ideal progression to competence based qualifications once individuals are in suitable employment.

The aim of OCR's Creative iMedia qualifications is to recognise the application of a range of creative media user skills, knowledge and understanding. These qualifications provide increased flexibility and choice for learners and centres, allowing them the opportunity to use any method, or combination of methods, which clearly demonstrates that the learning outcomes and assessment criteria have been met by candidates.

The qualifications also allow contributing qualifications, for example iMedia, to be recognised towards the overall achievement of the qualification, building on individuals' previous achievements and learning.

The qualifications will allow for progression to and from OCR's existing portfolio of IT qualifications and will complement other vocational qualifications.

This qualification can be used as a component for any Foundation Learning programme.
