Updated centre handbooks for Cambridge Technicals
30 June 2026
To improve clarity and consistency across our qualification documents, we’ve updated the centre handbooks for the Level 2 and Level 3 Cambridge Technicals (2016) qualifications.
The key updates we've made include:
- confirmation that unit recording sheets (URS) and set assignment feedback forms are now available only on Teach Cambridge.
- new section ‘Teaching content on legislation’ added to Section 5
- updated guidance on:
- plagiarism, including the use of AI
- teaching requirements for referencing or acknowledging material copied from the internet or other sources
- clarification on performance information, availability and funding for centres in Northern Ireland.
A summary of the changes is provided in Appendix C of each handbook.
You can view and download the updated centre handbooks from the Planning and Teaching > Centre handbooks sections of the Level 2 and Level 3 Cambridge Technicals qualification pages. These are also available to download from Teach Cambridge.
Please make sure you're using the latest versions of the centre handbooks.
