Welcome to the Open College Network London Region (OCNLR)

OCNLR offers high quality accreditation and national qualifications which are delivered by OCN Recognised Centres across the capital.

We work in partnership with a wide range of organisations including colleges, schools, employers, voluntary organisations and other training providers, to develop relevant and accessible credit-based qualifications and courses for learners aged 14 upwards.

Our service and our qualifications are underpinned by a set of values which are contained within our mission statement:

to widen access to, and participation in, high quality and flexible education, training and learning.
to promote social inclusion
to ensure that the full range of learner achievement is recognised and valued.

Our values inform our entire approach to the design and delivery of qualifications and accreditation.

We are licensed by the leading credit-based awarding body in the UK, the National Open College Network (NOCN), to award nationally recognised Qualifications and credit-based regional accreditation.

OCNLR is also the Access Validating Agency (AVA) for the London Region, licensed by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) to approve and certificate Access to Higher Education Diplomas.
