Quality Assurance

All NOCN Recognised Centres are required to operate a robust Quality Assurance System which supports the delivery of accredited courses.

Quality Assurance Systems will vary between organisations and will be defined by their individual circumstances.

However, irrespective of the type of organisation, all Quality Assurance Systems must incorporate:

• assessment practice
• internal quality assurance
• standardisation

An organisation’s Quality Assurance System will be discussed during the Centre Recognition process to ensure that it meets our requirements.

Monitoring of this process is undertaken by experienced External Quality Assurers, who arrange quality assurance visits appropriate to the needs of each Recognised Centre.

Further information can be found in the NOCN Quality Manual, which is available within the NOCN Policies section.
