Specification update for Extended Project qualification
30 June 2026
To support teachers, we have updated the specification for our Extended Project qualification (H857) to clarify:
- the requirements for in-person meetings and student feedback
- retaking the qualification
- internal assessment guidance
We have listed these updates and corresponding section numbers in the ‘Summary of updates’ at the end of the specification.
These amendments follow a recent specification update for the Extended Project on the use of AI in NEA components.
You can view and download the latest specification (version 2.1) from our website and Teach Cambridge.
If you have any queries about this update, please call our Customer Support Centre on 01223 553998, or email us at support@ocr.org.uk.
