Summer assessment changes

We have summarised the adaptations of AS, A Level and GCSE qualifications for those students certificating in summer 2021. 

Vocational assessment changes 

We have confirmed the next assessment opportunities for Cambridge Nationals and Cambridge Technicals. We've also confirmed the new 'virtual visit' arrangements for Cambridge Technicals. However, we know you need more information about adaptations to Cambridge Nationals and Cambridge Technicals in 2020/21. Please read our latest news story about the Ofqual consultation outcomes on adapting vocational qualifications. 

Supporting you during 2020/21 

This year, we're running a range of events:

  • Online training – Check out our ‘Admin Essentials’ online training events for our Cambridge Nationals, Cambridge Technicals (2016) and reformed Functional Skills qualifications. The sessions provide live, interactive training and focus on the administration essentials. For more information and to book your place, please visit the online training page. 
  • Online networks – We’re currently preparing our autumn term exams officer networks, which we’ll be delivering online. These meetings are designed to be collaborative and an opportunity for you to participate, ask questions and speak to each other. If you’re not already part of a local network and would like to join one, take a look at our network map and get in touch with your Customer Support Manager. 
  • Online exam officer updates – To support you during the 2020/21 academic year, we'd also like to invite you to join OCR’s online exams officer updates. These sessions provide the latest information and updates with the opportunity to ask our Customer Support Managers any questions you may have. To book your place, please visit the online update booking page. 

Useful resources 

There are a number of resources available within the dedicated Administration section to help you get prepared for the year ahead: 

  • Entry codes booklets – We've added these to our website (there are no printed entry codes booklets for 2020/21). Please note you can continue to use the 2019/20 Cambridge Technicals entry codes booklet – we will publish a version for 2020/21 once the summer 2021 arrangements are confirmed. 
  • Admin overviews – Need a summary of how a qualification works? Check out the qualification-specific overviews. 
  • Fees lists 2020/21 – Split into general and vocational qualifications, the fees lists provide details of fees for the current academic year. 
  • Key dates – The key dates pages contains the key dates for each qualification. 
  • Exam timetables – Timetables for the November 2020 and January 2021 series are now available. 
  • FAQs – Check out our FAQs for answers to your latest questions.

Keep up to date 

We’re sending exams officer updates to the email address we hold for you on the National Centre Number Register. If you need to change this email address or are not getting our messages, please email us at ncn@ocr.org.uk. You can read all the latest updates on our website.
