OCR is a leading awarding body that draws on over 150 years’ experience in awarding qualifications. We offer a wide range of diverse vocational and general qualifications from industry-based NVQs to specialist vocational qualifications to GCSEs and A Levels. We have learners based in over 13,000 different centres; in the last year we issued over 3.5 million certificates to learners undertaking Post-19 awards; and in the 2010 summer series of GCSEs and A Levels our unit entries were in excess of 4 million. We develop our qualifications in close consultation with teachers, employers, industry-leaders from both the private and public sectors and government to ensure they are relevant for learners today and meet the regulatory requirements set by OFQUAL. We support providers to deliver our qualifications and ensure our customers have access to CPD, support materials, publications, telephone contact with OCR subject specialists and online access to guidance via our websites.
