To help with your planning, we’re delighted to confirm that the majority of OCR’s 2016 Level 3 Cambridge Technicals vocational suite have been included on the 16-19 Key Stage 5 Performance Tables for 2018 in England. The 2016 Level 3 Cambridge Technicals are included on DfE’s new performance table lists for Applied General and for Tech Level qualifications. OCR achieved approval of all Applied General Cambridge Technical qualifications on first submission.

Charlotte Bosworth, OCR Director of Skills and Employment said: “OCR designed the new Level 3 Cambridge Technicals around what the sector needs and to give students the skills to progress on to HE or into the workplace.”

We are confident that the remaining Level 3 Cambridge Technicals qualifications will be included on the final version of the performance tables to be published in March 2016. OCR’s Level 2 Cambridge Technicals in IT - the Extended Certificate, and Diploma - and OCR’s Cambridge Nationals Level 1/2 qualifications have also been confirmed on relevant performance tables for 2018.

OCR’s 2016 Level 3 Cambridge Technicals are available in Business, Digital Media, Engineering, Health and Social Care, IT, Performing Arts, Science and Sports and Physical Activity. Want to know more? There’s still time to book a place on one of our 2016 Level 3 Cambridge Technicals launch events in Leeds, Birmingham and London and we will support your migration to the new suite.

We also have a calendar of live online training events for each subject to fit in with your teaching schedule, so book your place and get prepared for first teaching this September.
