Following feedback from teachers, we have updated our specification and sample assessment material for the Level 3 Certificate in Sustainability (H082), see below for details.

Updated specification

The amendments include the following:

• confirmation that the unit recording sheets (URS) and set assignment feedback forms are now only available on Teach Cambridge
• clarification that, on candidate results day, we will publish the raw mark to UMS converter on our website for the relevant series
• updated guidance on:
  • plagiarism, including the use of AI
  • teaching requirements for referencing or acknowledging material copied from the internet or other sources
  • teacher authentication for non-examined assessment (NEA).

We have listed all amendments and corresponding section numbers at the front of the updated specification.

You can view and download the updated specification (version 4) from the Sustainability qualification page on our website and Teach Cambridge.

Please make sure you use the new version of the specification with your students from 1 June 2026

Amended sample assessment material

We have also made a minor amendment to the sample assessment material for Unit F228.

In the ‘Information and instructions for teachers’ section, we have corrected that the Teacher Observation Record must be completed for Task 4, not Task 5.

You can view and download the material from the Assessment > Sample assessment materials section of the qualification page on our website and Teach Cambridge.
