1.  INTRODUCTION
================
This file has been prepared to assist centres in updating their systems with results received either via paper or Interchange. Please follow these guidelines closely as it will help OCR staff to process your entries quickly and efficiently. 

2.  OPTION TITLES
=================
Full Awards and Top Ups
Scheme titles are followed by a 'code' which summarises the level and title 
e.g. 	CE2 IN BUSINESS & ICT(FULL):CE2BUS
	CE2 IN BUSINESS & ICT-TOPUP:CE2BUS

Unit Entries
Unit entries are only required if a candidate is entering for specific units and not for a full award or top up. Due to the limit of 36 characters, many of the unit titles have been considerably abbreviated. The titles contain the scheme level and name code described above and then the unit number and abbreviated title,
e.g. 	CE2BUS:U1 BUSINESS PURPOSES 
	= Certificate level 2 Business, Unit 1 Business Purposes


3. OPTION CODES
===============
For full award and top up entries, the scheme code is followed by '00' 
e.g.  	532200 is scheme 05322 full award.

For unit entries the scheme code is followed by the unit number 
e.g. 	532201 is scheme 05322 Unit 1 

If you are entering a candidate for a full award or a top up, it is not necessary to include individual units.

4.  LEVEL CODES

CE2 = Certificate
