Reminder: 2022/23 assessment arrangements for Cambridge Nationals and Cambridge Technicals

Please share this message with those in your centre who teach our Cambridge Nationals and Cambridge Technicals qualifications

Following the announcement on 29 September 2022 from DfE and Ofqual, we confirmed in our news story a return to pre-pandemic arrangements for all Cambridge Nationals and Cambridge Technicals assessments taking place during 2022/23.

Given there are there are no longer any public health restrictions in place, we’d like to remind you we’ve removed the following adaptations:

• reduction in assessment
• unit level adaptations
• permission to produce work from home (Cambridge Nationals)
  
• advance information for unit R012 and set assignment for unit R013 (Cambridge Nationals in Information Technologies).
  

You should plan to teach and assess our Cambridge Nationals and Cambridge Technicals qualifications as normal.

To support you, remember to take a look at the guidance we provide on teaching and assessing our qualifications:

• For Cambridge Nationals, you can refer to the legacy specifications on our qualification pages, as well as the resources available in the Assessment and Planning and teaching sections. 
• For Cambridge Technicals, you can refer to the unit specifications on our qualification pages, as well as the resources available in the Assessment and Planning and teaching sections. You can also view and download our centres handbooks from the Administration sections of the qualification pages.
