OCR Level 3 Nationals in Art and Design PDF Print E-mail

The OCR Level 3 Nationals in Art and Design have been developed to recognise learners' skills, knowledge and understanding of the design sector. They have now been accredited by QCA for first delivery from 1 September 2007.

The learners carry out a range of tasks that have been designed to recognise their achievements in a modern, practical way that is relevant to the workplace.

They do not certificate competence on the job but are work-related qualifications which will support progression to an NVQ once a learner is in the work place.

Specification aims

These qualifications specifically aim to:
  • Develop learner's knowledge and understanding of art and design and the chosen specialist route if selected.
  • Develop learner's skills, knowledge and understanding in contexts that are directly relevant to employment situations, thereby enhancing employability within design.
  • Develop learner's ability to work autonomously and effectively in an art and design context
  • Enable learners to develop knowledge and understanding in specialist areas of art and design, and demonstrate the skills needed to participate in art and design environments and art and design practice.
  • Encourage progression by assisting in the development of skills, knowledge and understanding which learners will need to access further or high education programmes or occupational training on a full-time or part-time basis.
  • Encourage progression by assisting in the development of skills, knowledge and understanding which learners will need to enter employment, or enhance their current employment status.
  • Promote interaction between employers, centres and learners by relating teaching and assessment to real organisations.
