Cambridge Technicals

We’ve created guides to unit-level changes to make the delivery of Cambridge Technicals easier in 2020/21. Please go to the individual qualification page to download the relevant guide. These changes meet public health requirements and apply if your students are certificating in summer 2021.

Cambridge Technicals are vocational qualifications at Level 2 and Level 3 for students aged 16+. They're designed with the workplace in mind and provide a high-quality alternative to A Levels with a great range of subjects to choose from.
