The OCR Level 3 Cambridge Technical Diploma & Introductory Diploma (Suite 2016) offers students the opportunity to achieve an A-Level equivalent qualification that is based on practical learning. The principal difference between A-Level and the vocational course is the method of assessment. The vocational course is assessed through both internal assessed coursework assignments and external assessed exams. Students continually know where they are and what they need to do to improve their grade. The written external exams will be sat during the course, alongside the coursework. Some of the specialist content will be delivered by guest speakers from local companies, and students are encouraged to find work experience with local IT businesses.
