Employability Qualifications Extended

Ofqual has confirmed the extension of the following NOCN qualifications:

• Level 2 Award in Employability (QCF)
• Level 2 Certificate in Employability (QCF)

The accreditation end date for these qualifications is now 31.07.2014. Centres are required to submit all learner registrations for these qualifications prior to this date. A precise deadline for receipt of registrations by OCNWMR will be provided as the deadline approaches.

The certification end date for these qualifications is now 31.07.2016.  We will provide a deadline by which OCNWMR requires completed Recommendation for the Award of Credit forms as the certification cut-off date approaches.

OCN Recognised Centres who require additional information about these qualifications or guidance on how to offer them are advised to contact their OCNWMR Business Development Adviser, email wolverhampton@ocnwmr.org.uk, or telephone 01902 624 230.

The qualification guide and units are available on the NOCN website, www.nocn.org.uk. Navigate to "Qualifications", then "QCF Qualifications". These qualifications will appear at the top of the list. Alternatively, click here.

If you are a learning provider but are not an OCN Recognised Centre and you wish to explore how to offer this qualification please contact us on enquiries@ocnwmr.org.uk or telephone 01902 624 239.
