How to become a Recognised Centre

OCN Eastern Region Recognised Centres benefit from:

• access to National Qualifications
• access to 1000’s of units of learning which can be combined in a way appropriate to the needs of your learners

It just takes 3 easy steps to become a Recognised Centre...

Step 1 – Contact OCN Eastern Region
You will be asked some standard questions regarding your organisation, your current systems and your specific requirements. You will be sent an Information Pack, which will include details on Centre Recognition terms and requirements, fees and other information. Click here to contact us now.

Step 2 – Meet with one of our Development Managers
Your enquiry will be passed to a Development Manager, who will arrange a meeting to discuss your requirements. There is no charge for this meeting, and no commitment on either side at this stage. At the meeting the Development Manager will outline to you:

• the range of existing Qualifications, units and courses you would be able to access
• how to gain accreditation for your own courses or in-house training
• how OCN Eastern Region would support you to develop new units and courses according to your specific needs
• the range of training options available for you or your staff
• Centre Recognition requirements
• what you would need to do to meet our Quality Assurance requirements.

Step 3 – Sign up
If you decide you would like to become an OCN Eastern Region Recognised Centre, you will need to complete and sign a Centre Recognition Application, agree to our Centre Recognition Terms and Conditions and, with our support, agree Internal Verification arrangements.

The documentation provided will be reviewed by OCN Eastern Region against the Centre Recognition terms and conditions and Centre Recognition will then be confirmed. You will then be charged the Centre Recognition fee. The process takes up to but no longer than four weeks.
