OCR Nationals: ICT Qualification Structure
Collins new resources enable you to deliver the 2010 specification for the OCR Nationals in ICT in a structured yet engaging way. They cover the 11 key units between two discs, using video demonstrations of how to carry out all of the key tasks required on the most popular programs.
With Collins OCR Nationals in ICT you can:
- Deliver the 2010 specification – cover everything needed for the compulsory unit and your chosen optional units for each course (see below for which units you need to cover)
- Provide captivating content pitched at the right level – with tasks based on exciting, real-life scenarios and directly mapped to Assessment Objectives
- Aid understanding with instructional clips – video demonstrations show students how to carry out every task with guidance, hints and tips
- Enable students to progress at their own pace – the demonstrations allow students to work through each unit, one task at a time, with clear step-by-step instructions they can refer back to
- Easily track your students progress – with extensive guidance on where the evidence of student work needs to be taken from
- Teach with confidence – with an in-depth Teacher Guide for each disc, containing lesson plans and assessment guidance from an experienced team of authors, advisors and teachers

Which units do Collins cover on each disc?
We are publishing two discs:
Disc 1 contains material for Unit 1 (the compulsory unit) and Units 20, 21, 22, 23
Disc 2 contains material for Unit 1 (the compulsory unit) and Units 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
What do I need to buy to cover the course?
- The compulsory unit (Unit 1) is on both discs so you may only need to buy one, depending on which route you take.
- You can buy individual copies of the discs for £7.99 each. These are for single use so you would need one for each student. It may be more cost-effective to buy our networkable disc instead for £500.00. This is a one-off payment and you can put this disc on your network for all students to use.
We are also publishing a Teacher Guide to go with each disc with extra supporting resources to help you deliver the course.
