The British College of Auricular Acupuncture
is proud to announce that it is now a NOCN (National Open College
Network) Approved Centre and its training courses are now being
validated and accredited by the Open College Network South East
Region (OCNSER). www.ocnser.org.uk
Accreditation is the process of officially recognising a course
as meeting required quality standards.
Why our courses are OCN accredited?
The Open College Network is a licensed Awarding
Body that does not run courses, but works with Training Providers
such as ourselves, that do. OCN accredited courses enjoy:
- formal recognition of successful achievement
- widened opportunities
- courses constructed in line with best practice learning and
assessment methods
- credits that can build towards further qualifications, education
or training
About OCN course credits
OCN courses are made up of units of achievement.
Each unit (Module) has a credit value. As you proceed on each
of our courses you build up credits.
- 1 credit = 10 notional hours of study –
that is how long an average learner is likely to need to complete
the work.
- Each unit (Module) is assigned a credit value,
usually between 1 and 6, dependant on how much learning is required.
(See below for the credit values of our Modules I, II and III).
This means you can easily build up credits
and you can be awarded an OCN certificate for the units (Modules)
you have completed. You can use your certificate as evidence
of your achievement in job interviews or when applying to other
educational or training courses.
Credit Levels
The Open College Network awards credits at
different levels. These levels are agreed nationally within
a national credit framework. The OCN is able to award credits
at five levels from Entry to Level 4 (see below for our Modules’
credit levels).
For a description of credit levels and examples
of comparable qualifications go to www.ocnser.org.uk

Certification of our Modules of training
in Auricular Acupuncture
After you have applied and been accepted to
attend one of our training courses you will be registered with
us as a student member. We then register your name with the
Open College Network. At the beginning of the Module it will
be explained to you what you will need to achieve by the end
of it. Your tutor will be continually assessing your progress
throughout the duration of the Module in a variety of ways,
both practically and written.
All students deemed to have achieved the goals
of the Module will receive two certificates – one from
the British College of Auricular Acupuncture and the other from
the Open College Network. Both certificates will be sent to
you from the B.C.Aur.Ac. as the local OCN office does not hold
individual addresses.
