Endorsed Courses
OCN NI Endorsed Courses enable centres to gain recognition for bespoke training which has been developed in collaboration with the OCN NI Business Development team and owned exclusively by the centre.
An OCN NI Endorsed Course allows centres to develop training which is specific and tailored to their learners needs whilst also having a nationally recognised awarding organisations stamp of approval. OCN NI accreditation will ensure the course is of a high standard and learners will benefit from being awarded an OCN NI Endorsed Course Certificate to recognise their achievements.
OCN NI has extensive experience in developing and accrediting Endorsed Courses for a wide variety of organisations such as, Further Education Colleges, Private Training Organisations, Adult Education Providers, Voluntary & Community Organisations, SME’s and Public Sector Bodies such as Health Trusts, NI Prison Service and Local Government Agencies.
OCN NI Endorsed Courses enable organisations to:
- Promote their credibility by forging links with a nationally recognised Awarding Organisation
- Enhance their training by seeking external quality assurance from a nationally recognised Awarding Organisation
- Enable their successful learners to receive an achievement certificate from a nationally recognised Awarding Organisation
- Draw on the curriculum, teaching, learning and assessment expertise of staff within a nationally recognised Awarding Organisation
Community Restorative Justice Ireland (CRJI) have been delivering OCN endorsed courses for several years. Andrea McLaughlin from CRJI said “OCN provided the perfect framework which allows us to deliver accredited training which increases our learners' awareness of restorative justice and knowledge of restorative practices. When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, we updated some of our courses to ensure they were deliverable online and focussed on developing and broadening the range of endorsed courses we offer. OCN staff have been so helpful with this process and have walked us through the accreditation process”.
