OCR Level 2 National Courses in ICT
Students start work on these exciting new ICT courses in year 9.
Students are able to work at pass, merit or distinction level, which are in turn equivalent to grade C, B and A GCSE passes.

Students will continue with the OCR Nationals course throughout years 10 and 11, giving them passes worth one or two equivalent GCSE points.
Additionally, students can opt for ICT in year 10, in which case they will be aiming for the Certificates which are worth 3 or 4 equivalent GCSE points.

The new OCR Nationals course is an extremely popular and successful course nationwide.
The new course is entirely coursework based and consists of completing a variety of units of work. Students are able to work at their own pace, giving individual students opportunities to maximise their potential. In practise, this means that children can complete different numbers and types of units of work, dependent on their interests and abilities.
The OCR Nationals provides considerable flexibility for students so that they can be entered for different awards depending on the number and type of units they have completed. Students ultimately can be entered for any one of the following qualifications:
OCR Level 2 National First Award in ICT (equivalent to 1 GCSE)
OCR Level 2 National Award in ICT (equivalent to 2 GCSEs)
OCR Level 2 National First Certificate in ICT (equivalent to 3 GCSEs)
OCR Level 2 National Certificate in ICT (equivalent to 4 GCSEs)
All of these qualifications offer grade C and above GCSE equivalent passrates.
