How to plan Cambridge Technicals assessments
Use the published row as the anchor, then add the centre-level details your students need.
1. Identify level and code
Check Level 2 or Level 3, subject, qualification-code scope and unit before adding the assessment to your calendar.
2. Separate exams and windows
Timed examinations have a fixed sitting. Centre-managed windows need local scheduling, supervision and submission planning.
3. Confirm centre instructions
Your exams officer or assessor confirms reporting time, room, access arrangements, equipment and any clash solution.
- Match your entry to the correct unit and code scope.
- Record series, date/window, session and duration.
- Ask early about clashes or access arrangements.
- Arrive for the centre’s reporting time.
- Follow assessor instructions for centre-managed windows.
- Keep 23 June 2027 available for contingency.

What is a centre-managed assessment window?
It is a date range in which the centre schedules or supervises the assessment rather than a single fixed written-paper sitting. Follow your assessor’s local instructions.
What does “Same” mean in the code column?
“Same” means the row uses the qualification-code group shown on the preceding row in that source table. The page keeps the source wording and also retains the code group for searching.
What does “Not 05822” or “05874 only” mean?
These notes define which qualification-code routes the unit applies to. Check your entry and the relevant OCR specification with your exams officer.
Which subjects are covered?
The timetable covers Applied Science, Business, Business Administration, Digital Media, Engineering, Health and Social Care, IT, Performing Arts, Sport and Physical Activity.
What is the June 2027 contingency day?
Wednesday, 23 June 2027 is the designated summer examination contingency day. Candidates should remain available in case nationally significant disruption requires a timetable change.
How do I find my unit?
Search the subject, unit, assessment title or qualification code, then check the series, date/window, session and duration.
What if two Cambridge Technicals assessments clash?
Tell your exams officer or assessor as soon as possible. The centre will follow OCR clash, supervision and alternative-arrangement procedures.
Who confirms the room and reporting time?
Your school, college or training provider does. OCR publishes the timetable; the centre gives the final reporting, room and access instructions.
What should I bring to a Cambridge Technicals exam?
Bring only items your centre permits, such as approved stationery, candidate identification and authorised equipment. Follow the centre’s exam-day notice.
Where can I verify updates?
Use OCR’s key dates page and the latest January or June final timetable PDF, then confirm any amendment with your centre.
