Registration
Once a course is ready to operate, the centre should complete the Course and Learner Registration Form. A master copy of this form can be downloaded from our website at www.ocnemr.org.uk listed under Registration and Awards. Registrations should be sent within the time scales set out in the late registration policy, a late registration fee will be payable in cases of late registration.
Completing the CLRF – The CLRF is in two parts, A and B.
Part A informs OCN of the course to be registered by course code and course title, please note the course title will appear on the learners’ certificates so careful consideration should be given to the choice of title. Words such as, Certificate, Award, Diploma and Qualification should not be used as they have specific meanings in terms of OCN accreditation. If the course code/title is not known please give details of the units to be included in the course, the only units that may be included here are the units that the centre is authorised to operate as indicated in the Curriculum Plan. Only units that are being delivered and studied on the particular course in question should be listed. Care should be taken to ensure that the OPUS codes are clear to avoid the wrong units being attached. The centre name and NOCN centre number must be included, if you do not know your centre number please contact OCN.
There is a requirement to include an Intended Credit Target on Part A. This is the number of credits that an average learner undertaking the course is likely to achieve, and is used for invoicing purposes.
Step UP Qualifications
For NOCN Step UP Qualifications, please insert the size (Award, Certificate, Diploma) of the qualification in the Intended Credit Target box to ensure that you are charged for the Qualification and not credit by credit.
Part B requires the delivery venue, course start and end date and informs OCN of the learners who will be registered onto this run of the course, by name, date of birth etc. It is vital that for QCF courses, including Step UP, this information includes the ULN for each learner.
When completed, both parts, A and B, of the CLRF must be returned by email to registrations@ocnemr.org.uk a registration acknowledgment will be sent to you on receipt therefore please do not send to any other OCN email address. Please put the name of your centre in the subject line of the email, do not include queries or correspondence with the registrations as the emails are dealt with in the order in which they are received. At busy times of the year this can be up to 6 weeks so other queries may not be noticed for some time.
