If you did how have you entered it on your ucas form, there seems to be no heading which it fits under.

Can't remember...is this key skills we're talking about (dunno if that's what it's know as universally)?

[usainlightning]

no not key skills we did it instead of GCSE and it was worth two GCSE's and was graded distinction, merit, passs

[usainlightning]

bump

I think I did it. Is one half for 'business' and the other for 'video' or something? If so that was a horrible course!

My certificate says it's vocational so I would put it in the 'vocational GCSEs' and type in 'National First Award in ICT'.

No there were 3 units and there was a variety of options to choose from.

Did you figure this out? Ive got the same problem

[Adam92]

I sat the National Award for Business (2 GCSEs) and the UCAS lady told me to put it under 'other qualifications', if that helps.

[Monique91]

omg ive got the same problem theres no option on ucas for this qualification !!!!!!
i got a distinction for
databases:design and use
creating sound using ICT
ICT Skills for businesses
creating a video
this so frustrating

[riva joins group]

found the OCR list as if by accident!

in the 'other qualifications not listed' section, look under 'O' again for other, and a list of OCR awards are there, including "OCR National Award" , and the one I was looking for too.

[commanda]

Could anyone explain what is the difference between OCR nationals Diploma grade "P3" & "P2"?? All I know is P2 is worth more UCAS points...

What does 3x Distinction equate to in terms of GCSE?

[becky louise]

I just put it under other, it didn't cause me any problems when I applied to unis, my friend did say there was something for it but I never found it, as long as it's there and you enter the full name of the qualification as well as your mark correctly then it shouldn't cause any problems. If you're concerned you could always ask a person at your school/college that deals with the UCAS apps to double check

[Iqqi :)]

I did the same! Just choose 'OCR National Award' on UCAS and then you can choose which level and obviously ICT as your subject that should be fine

you have to go to other qualification and click OCR nationals and then you enter the level and what grade you got. Good Luck

Wrong - thats a Distinction overall for the award which is equivalent to A*A at GCSE.
