Quality Assurance

Recognised Centres delivering NOCN provision must have quality management systems in place to underpin that delivery.

Systems will vary between centres according to what is appropriate in the particular situation. Practices that work in a large centre will not necessarily work in a small one;  an employer-based provider may have different requirements from a college. Whatever the situation,

NOCN has two key requirements:

  • There must be an appropriate system in place.
  • There must be evidence that it is implemented effectively.

Quality management system’ is an umbrella term that includes a number of key aspects of the way that a centre is run.  

Within the context of NOCN delivery, this will include:

Approved Internal Verifier Status (AIVS)

AIVS enables an Internal Verifier within a recognised centre to authorise the Recommendation for the Award of Credit (RAC) form issued by OCN Eastern Region, without the need for external verification. 

Please visit our AIVS page for further information on how to achieve AIVS status.
