To submit work electronically to the moderator, you need to request the four-digit OCR mailbox address, e.g. ocremxxxx@ocr.org.uk from the OCR customer contact centre.

As soon as the unit(s) are claimed on Interchange, email the moderator to give them login details and instructions on how to navigate around the site.

It is important to send the moderator this information each time you make a claim. 

The login details will also be required to make access available to other individuals, as advised by us, for quality assurance purposes. 

You must ensure the work in the portfolio is accessible for a minimum of six months for quality assurance and in the event of an review of results. 

After this time, the portfolios can be removed. 

Ensure all candidate evidence for each unit is contained within the same folder and include the following within the portfolio: 

• A simple submission cover sheet for each candidate
• A candidate evidence checklist (if applicable).

These can be downloaded from the relevant qualification page or via our handy forms finder tool.

Please make sure:

• Final candidate evidence is easy to find. 
• All files show evidence of the assessor’s marking. If there are no errors on a print, tick or mark as ‘no errors’. 
• Files are restricted to 10MB per file as otherwise it takes too long for the moderator to download.

In addition:

• Evidence can be scanned to show marking; please scan prints in the correct sequence and orientation. 
• Hyperlinks can be incorporated into the candidate evidence checklist in order to make it easier for the moderator to find which part of the evidence maps to the assessment criteria. 
• We accept PDF, RAR, ZIP, or MS Office files (any version). Publisher files should be sent as PDF. 
• Feedback/marking of candidate work can be submitted on a separate document.
