General FAQ - Is there a textbook available for this syllabus?

We do not require teachers to use any one particular textbook for our syllabuses, and we recommend that, wherever possible, teachers make use of a variety of different resources. It is good practice for students to get into the habit of using more than one textbook, and this also has the advantage that if they do not understand an explanation in one book, they may find a different explanation more helpful to them.
 
There are currently no published resources for Cambridge International AS & A Level Design & Technology (9705). Whilst we make available to publishers a list of all the syllabuses where there is an opportunity for them to publish a textbook, they do not always decide to publish. This is, unfortunately, the case with this syllabus. Whilst we can encourage publishers to produce a textbook, Cambridge International is not a textbook provider ourselves, and textbook suppliers are typically led by the number of entrants for the syllabus.
 
You can find a range of teaching resources, such as past papers and mark schemes, on our School Support Hub, as well as a discussion forum where you can ask questions and share ideas with other teachers. For even further in depth support, on our website we have published interactive resources designed to introduce and help you to develop key areas of teaching and learning practice.
