How to Become a Recognised Centre

OCNYHR is a membership network which learning providers can join by becoming a Recognised Centre.

OCN Centres:

  • can access nationally recognised qualifications for a wide range of learning activities
  • have access to a substantial database of pre-approved units
  • can achieve tailor made qualifications and accreditation for existing and new learning programmes
  • use our range of educational services including curriculum support/advice
  • benefit from staff training and ongoing quality improvement with a programme of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

There are three easy steps:

Step 1 

Contact OCNYHR to receive an information pack

Step 2

Return the required forms to achieve Membership (together with your Annual Report or Statement of Turnover, Constitution and brief publicity material)
Step 3 Attend all mandatory workshops, working with relevant members of staff to complete your Centre Recognition application

 

Once you have been approved as a Recognised Centre you have the right to access our web portal for the registration of learners. OCNYHR will provide the relevant staff  with a username and password.
