What the college says

The OCR Life and Living Skills suite of Entry Level qualifications provide learners with high quality, nationally recognised qualifications. They are credit-based qualifications that provide valuable opportunities for individuals to develop skills, gain underpinning knowledge and understanding and offers opportunities for learners to progress to higher level units in the suite or to achieve units at the same level, where progression to a higher level is not possible. The qualifications have been designed for both young people and mature learners, including those with profound and multiple learning disabilities. Over 150 bite-sized units are available across a wide range of engaging skill areas. Any combination of units, at any level, can be selected to suit the particular needs and interests of the learner. This provides the opportunity to build a rich and varied personalised learning programme for the learner. The suite of qualifications contains units suitable for learners working at different stages of the Entry 1 Achievement Continuum. The awarding body for these qualifications is Oxford Cambridge and RSA Examinations (OCR) and the regulatory body is the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual). These Foundation Learning qualifications are regulated in the Qualifications and Credit Framework and appear on the Register of Regulated Qualification
