Why choose an accredited course?
Accreditation is becoming increasingly important in a highly competitive world, and ensures that course structure, material, marking and moderation all exceed a strictly enforced educational standard. Make sure your investment of time, money and energy is genuinely recognised by choosing an accredited course.
We are proud that our courses, Think Dog!, Thing Dog! Advanced, Training for the Future and Talk Dog are accredited by the Open College Network (South East Region) - an external awarding body, recognised nationwide.
About the NOCN
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, Entry, Level One, Level Two and Level Three. 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.
OCN South East Region, supports learning and widens opportunity by recognising achievement through credit based courses and qualifications.
