Who we are

OCN London is a national not-for-profit organisation that creates and awards qualifications. We work in partnership with educators, training providers, charities and employers to help transform people’s lives through learning.

We have been helping organisations to develop and validate their education and training provision for over 25 years. Our focus is on providing opportunities for people - many of them ‘second chance’ learners who have missed out on traditional education - to progress and achieve their potential. This is at the heart of our mission.

What we do

We offer national awards specialising in qualifications for learners aged 14 upwards. We are a market leader in the recognition of achievement through credit-based units. This approach offers maximum flexibility for learners and the opportunity to create learning programmes that reflect people’s interests and ambitions.

We develop bespoke programmes that enable organisations to deliver accredited courses that meet their exact needs.

We run training courses for teachers and tutors, assessors, moderators and administrators.

We also offer a quality mark to organisations that want recognition for the quality of their work.

With a team dedicated to offering exceptional support and expertise, we have achieved a reputation for enhancing quality and providing a personal and responsive service to our centres.

Our mission is to help create a fairer society where everyone, whatever their educational background has an opportunity to benefit from learning and realise their potential.
