Qualification update

OCR’s Level 3 Maths provision is changing. Our Core Maths Level 3 Certificates launched in 2015, in Quantitative Problem Solving (H867) and Quantitative Reasoning (H866) are designed to enable learners to strengthen the mathematical knowledge and skills which they have learnt at GCSE so that they can apply them to the problems which they will encounter in further study, life and employment.

You may also be interested in our new AS/A Level qualifications in Mathematics and Further Mathematics that are being developed for first teaching from September 2017.

This is a new qualification for all post-16 students who have achieved a grade 4 (or better) in GCSE Mathematics.

The key aim is to provide students using maths in Biology, Business Studies, Chemistry, Geography, IT or Psychology with the skills needed to solve mathematical problems arising in their other subjects, employment and everyday life.

Students can either take a 60 guided learning hour course, earning a Level 3 certificate, or progress to take a full AS Level in Quantitative Methods.
