Cambridge Nationals are vocational qualifications, equivalent in size to GCSEs, for 14–16 year olds.
They provide an excellent foundation for progression to Cambridge Technicals and other Level 3 vocational qualifications as well as A Levels and apprenticeships.
We’ve submitted our redeveloped Cambridge Nationals for first teaching September 2022 to the Department for Education (DfE) and Ofqual for consideration on key stage 4 performance tables in England for 2024. We expect the list of approved qualifications to be published in the autumn of this year.
