Employers
Employers provide a broad range of training and development for their workforce. Our supportive staff can help employers to gain recognition for the learning that they provide at work. It might be training that is already in place, or a development that is planned for the future. OCN North East Region works with employers to design and develop accredited programmes and qualifications that meet national standards.
You know the skills your employees need. We can work with you to develop your business through training and learning.
Thousands of people in the North East have developed their skills on an OCN North East Region course. Their certificates show employers what they have achieved in an easy to understand and nationally recognised format.

Qualifications
NOCN Qualifications consist of Units of assessment, each with an assigned level and credit value. This allows employers to offer, and learners to achieve, learning in the workplace and build towards a full qualification within their own timescales.
We can help you use Qualifications on the new Qualifications and Credit Framework that are supported by Sectors Skills Councils. They can allow you to map your employee induction and general training to nationally accredited Units and Qualifications.
Accreditation is flexible so your courses can be as short as one day or over a longer time, with achievements recorded and certificated at every step of the way.
