Cambridge Technicals

Cambridge Technicals are vocational qualifications, offered by Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR)[1] in the United Kingdom, and Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) internationally; both are part of Cambridge University Press & Assessment. These qualifications are intended for secondary school students age 16 to 18 who want to study a practical, work-related curriculum.[2] In the UK's Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) a Tech Level 2 qualification is equivalent to a GCSE, and a Level 3 is equivalent to an A Level.[3] The qualifications are designed with the workplace in mind and provide a high quality alternative to A Levels, supporting progression to higher education.[tone]
