OCNSER Quality Surgeries Spring Term

21 January 2010

Quality Surgeries offer your organisation an hours slot where your leaners work can be assessed and your Recommendation for Award of Credit (RAC) signed.

What We Offer

OCNSER offer a tailor made service to their recognised centres.

Recognised centres can run full National Qualifications or they can use existing nationally accredited units to tailor a course to suit most of their needs.

OCNSER can also use local units to help providers run specifically designed courses.

How to start using OCNSER for accrediting units and qualifications from:

Â� Step-UP (Skills Towards Enabling Progression)

Â� Qualifications in Progression

Â� Or any other NOCN qualification

If your organisation is already an OCN recognised centre then your organisation can start to offer units from your approved QCA Sectors from Step-UP or the Qualifications in Progression immediately.

If your centre is not currently an approved OCNSER centre, simply contact OCN South East Region on 01932 569894 or email us at ocnser@ocnser.org.uk and we will guide you through the centre recognition process.
