As communicated previously, we have made the difficult decision to withdraw the Entry Level Award in Using ICT (01679). The last date for entries will be 31 October 2017 and the last certification date will be 31 October 2018.
What does this mean for Level 1 ITQ schemes?

- 03992 OCR Level 1 Certificate in IT User Skills (ITQ)
- 03993 OCR Level 1 Diploma in IT User Skills (ITQ)
