Welcome to NOCN - a leading UK Awarding Organisation
We are recognised by the Regulatory Authorities in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and provide flexible, credit-based qualifications to a range of education and training providers and employers.
NOCN, with nearly 300 registered qualifications, had the second highest number of achievements in the QCF in 2009-2010, within the UK. With our network of OCNs we are working to ensure that we are fully compliant with the General Conditions of Recognition published by Ofqual in May 2011.
The emerging Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), endorses the Open College Network’s 25 years experience in the recognition of flexible, bite size learning to meet the needs of adults and young people.
