Art and Design
The OCR Level 2 Nationals in Art and Design has been developed to recognise learners' skills, knowledge and understanding of design activities, environments and operations. It has 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.
It does not certificate competence on the job but is a work-related qualification which will support progression to an NVQ once a candidate is in the workplace.
