There’s a lot for colleges and training providers to balance when planning for a new academic year.

Budgets have to stretch. Curriculum decisions have to respond to learners and employers. Delivery needs to remain viable. And all of that is happening against continued pressure on costs.

We can’t remove every uncertainty, but we can remove one.

NOCN Group is freezing qualification prices across our entire tariff for the new academic year.

There will also be no increase to our Annual Centre Fee* or onboarding fees, giving centres greater certainty when planning their budgets and provision.

Making budgets work harder

We know that value isn’t simply about the price of an individual qualification.

Providers are looking at the overall cost of delivery and asking how they can make budgets work harder without compromising the quality or breadth of provision available to learners.

Alongside our Price Freeze, NOCN Group offers reduced pricing across a number of NVQs and volume discounts for organisations with higher annual registration values.

But we also think the conversation needs to go beyond price.

What are you planning for the year ahead?

The start of a new academic year is an opportunity to look again at what you deliver.

What’s working? Where is demand changing? Are there gaps in your provision? Are local employers asking for skills you could be supporting?

Our team can work through those questions with you.

NOCN Group offers curriculum planning support to help colleges and training providers review their existing provision, explore opportunities and identify qualifications that meet the needs of learners and employers.

It’s not about adding qualifications for the sake of it. It’s about helping you build provision that works for your organisation and the communities you serve.
