OCR Nationals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
OCR Nationals are vocationally-related qualifications which were officially launched by the OCR Board in September 2004. The qualifications are designed to meet the needs of those seeking vocational education in place of the traditional, theory-intensive, academic route. Although the target audience are teenagers (14-19), the qualifications are also suitable for adult learners, much like the GNVQ.
[edit] New alternative
OCR Nationals are available at Levels 1, 2 and 3, and are perceived to be a viable alternative to the withdrawn GNVQs. A great selling point is the equivalence of the Level 2 qualifications to 4 GCSEs.
They are available in the following subject areas:
- Business,
- Design,
- Health & Social care,
- information technology,
- Leisure/Travel & Tourism,
- Media,
- Public Services,
- Science,
- Sport.
