Advice from OCR - PLEASE READ

Hello,

Make sure all of you look at the following link. It is the examining board's FAQ for the course. It is a short read for each brief but perhaps will answer any questions you have so you do not have to wait for a lesson to clarify any questions OR make any errors that end up in you wasting time unnecessarily.

Thanks

Mr Welch
