How to become a recognised centre

Becoming an OCN London Region recognised centre is a straightforward process and support is provided for those who are new to accreditation. We pride ourselves in an approach that balances ‘light of touch’ with the rigour required to give our centres confidence in the integrity and quality of OCN accreditation and qualifications.

Centres new to accreditation

The application process to become a recognised centre is detailed in our e-Information Pack which includes details on the process, centre recognition terms and requirements, fees and other information. Click here to contact us now.

Centres already experienced with accreditation

For centres that already have experience of delivering qualifications with other awarding bodies there is a fast-track system. Click here to contact us now for more information.

Once approved as an OCN London Region recognised centre, you will benefit from access to:

  • NOCN national qualifications (many eligible for public funding)
  • A vast range of units which can be combined to meet the centre’s/learners’ needs
  • Accreditation for your training courses
  • Expert development support for accrediting new courses or training provision

We also have the option of Associate Membership for organisations that do not wish to deliver N/OCN accredited courses and qualifications but wish to be formal members of OCNLR.
