Qualification reform

OCR is currently reforming its general qualifications in line with the government programme of reform. However, we have made the difficult decision not to redevelop the Level 3 Certificate in Mathematics for Engineering. Centres may be interested in the below qualifications.

Cambridge Technicals - Engineering Level 3 Certificate/Extended Certificate/Foundation Diploma/Diploma - 05822-05825 (from 2015)
AS/A Level GCE - Mathematics A - H230, H240
AS/A Level GCE - Physics A - H156, H556 (from 2015)
AS/A Level GCE - Physics B (Advancing Physics) - H157, H557 (from 2015)

This qualification promotes the teaching and learning of mathematics appropriate to engineering, post GCSE, in schools and colleges. The qualification includes a range of applied mathematical topics to allow schools and colleges to deliver a course to suit the requirements of potential engineering students. It has been designed to enable progression to qualifications in the National Qualifications Framework.
