Qualification Development

If you cannot find any suitable qualifications through our qualification’s finder function please contact the Qualifications Development team to discuss the process for developing a new qualification.   

How long will it take? 

Developing a qualification with OCN will take approximately 18 to 24 months. 

The first step in the process for developing a qualification with us requires you to complete a Qualification Development Proposal Form. This can be completed via Quartz Web.

Please note, that only OCN Recognised Centres can begin this process. If you would like to become and OCN Recognised Centre, please click here.

Please provide as much detail as possible to include: 

  • Qualification Title, Level and Size 

  • Qualification aims and objective 

  • Qualification Target Group, age range and entry requirements 

  • Current legislation to be considered 

  • Evidence of independent Stakeholder engagement 

  • Anticipated learner numbers 

  • National Occupational Standards (NOS) to which the qualification relates

Once this has been submitted, a member of the Qualifications Development team will be in touch with you to discuss your proposal.
