Schools
OCN NI has a wide range of vocational and technical qualifications available to offer in schools through the Entitlement Framework. The qualifications listed below have been approved for use in Schools in Northern Ireland and appear in the NIEFQAN file. The NIEFQAN file shows details of GCSE Guided Learning Hours (GLHs) size equivalences for level 1 and level 2 qualifications, and A-level Guided Learning Hours (GLHs) size equivalences for qualifications at level 3.
