Open College Network NI has been one of the leading Awarding Organisations and education charities for thirty years. Certificating over 600,000 learners, our impact is felt across multiple sectors and groups of learners. Beyond the numbers, every certificate awarded is a story of growth, opportunity, and success.

In our 30th year, it is important that we look forward towards the next 30, maintaining our high standards and setting the tone as an awarding body. Education is the golden thread that runs through our society, and we are proud to provide transformative experiences for learners. 

By continuing to bolster the skills, confidence and mental health of individuals, OCN will continue to develop and award qualifications which engage, enrich and equip learners for life. To sustain and advance our offerings, we have created three strategic goals for the next three years.

1. To be the awarding body of choice
2. To promote learning as a tool for transformation
3. To continuously improve through innovation and creativity
