Cambridge Technicals Sport and Physical Activity Level 3 Certificate/Extended Certificate/Foundation Diploma/Diploma/Extended Diploma - 05826-05829, 05872 (2016 suite)

Introducing near-pass grades for Level 3 Cambridge Technicals

We are introducing a new ‘near-pass’ unit grade for Level 3 Cambridge Technicals (2016) for students who narrowly miss a Pass on externally assessed units.

We've prepared a set of frequently asked questions to help you and your students understand what this means.
Additional resit opportunity for Level 3 Cambridge Technicals

The Department for Education (DfE) has announced some students should be given another opportunity to resit external assessment(s) for Tech Level or Applied General qualifications.

Here's more information about what this decision will mean for OCR students.
