The NOCN is a nationally-recognised body, and is the foremost provider of accreditation service for adult learning. It works through a network of regional awarding bodies, known as Open College Networks (OCN).
Quality assurance is a key part of the organisation. OCN awards are controlled and ratified through the NOCN Credit & Qualification Framework. All qualifications are accredited by the various national regulatory authorities (QCA1 / ACCAC2 / CCEA3) and sit within the NQF - so you know that our training is recognised in all parts of the United Kingdom.
