The NOCN is a major awarding body providing national qualifications and a complementary range of national and local activities, including curriculum development and locally developed accreditation.
Accreditation is offered at four levels: Foundation, Intermediate, Advanced Award and Advanced Certificate. This means that learners on accredited programmes can achieve credits for their learning at any of the four levels. These levels are compatible with the same levels of the
National Qualifications Framework (NQF).
