Ofqual has published guidance for GCSEs, AS and A Levels and Project qualifications as part of long-term contingency arrangements to improve the resilience of the qualifications system if exams are unable to go ahead at a national level. We confirm below the arrangements for our other vocational qualifications.
For OCR other vocational qualifications which do not have exams, the principles in the Ofqual guidance for subjects that do not have exams apply:
- Teachers do not need to carry out any additional assessment.
- Students should be supported to complete their non-exam assessment (NEA) wherever possible.
If an OCR vocational qualification is being used to confirm occupational competence, all assessment would still need to be completed for the qualification to be awarded.
