All students must achieve 5 or more GCSE (or equivalent) qualifications at Grade 4 or above (including Maths and English).
Internal Assessment The majority of the qualification content will be internally assessed through centre-set assignments created by you. We’ll provide you with a range of model assignments across the qualification for you to use or adapt where necessary. Alternatively, you can create your own assignment to reflect your local area and needs that are relevant to your centre; plus you can use our Assignment Checking Service to make sure you’re on the right lines. Visiting Moderation For the internally assessed units we provide two free visiting moderation visits per academic year. At these visits we will be able to provide you with supportive feedback, advice and guidance. Sample Learner Work We know that you like to make sure your students are on the right track and working towards gaining the best possible outcome they can. We can’t look at your students’ live work, but the CPD Hub has a range of sample learner work for Cambridge Technicals. Sample learner work is just that... a sample – it’s not exemplary or a ‘gold standard’. The work has been looked at by our Lead Moderator and in many cases they’ve provided a commentary on how the work stacks up against the assessment criteria, or have annotated the script to show which assessment criteria have been met. This should help you get a feeling for what is expected, and how your students are getting on – you may also find the command verb resource useful too, this can be found on the qualification page of the OCR website. External Assessment We’re working with subject experts to make sure that for externally assessed units we create assessment solutions that retain the vocational nature of the qualification and be relevant for the sector. External assessment across the Cambridge Technicals suite could involve written examinations including case studies, pre-release materials, controlled projects or tasks, or computer based tests relating to the subject which students will need to apply their knowledge and understanding to. More information about each units external assessment can be found in the qualification Centre Handbook. External assessment will be set and marked by us; there will be two opportunities for your students to take them, in January and June, so you can decide when they are ready to take their assessment. Sample Assessment Materials We have produced Sample Assessment Materials for each externally assessed unit. This will provide you with an idea of the type of assessment for each unit and give the opportunity for your students to practice. Combined Past Paper This resource is a combination of: • Past Paper • Mark Scheme • Examiner Comments Following each exam series we’ll produce a Combined Past Paper so you can see the paper, alongside the mark scheme and examiner comments to demonstrate how students responded and where improvements could have been made.
