Oxford, Cambridge and RSA Examinations[2] (OCR) is an examination board that sets examinations and awards qualifications (including GCSEs and A-levels). It is one of England, Wales and Northern Ireland's five main examination boards.

OCR is based in Cambridge, with an office in Bourn, Coventry. It is part of the University of Cambridge's Cambridge Assessment which merged with Cambridge University Press in August 2021.[3] OCR delivers GCSE and A Level examinations in the United Kingdom whereas for other countries Cambridge Assessment operates the examination board Cambridge Assessment International Education.[4] An important distinction between the two is that OCR qualifications must comply with UK government regulations set by Ofqual while Cambridge International Examinations international GCSEs and GCE A Levels do not.[5]
