NOCN Group

NOCN Group has been creating opportunities through learning and skills development for over 30 years. Our mission is to help learners reach their potential and enable organisations to thrive. The group specialises in regulated UK and international qualifications, End Point Assessment, assured short courses, SMART job cards, assessment services, consultancy, and research.

Our heritage, rooted in upskilling workers, informs our social mobility agenda. We believe passionately in the power of education and its transformative impact. We aim to increase engagement in education, apprenticeships, and skills training. We strive to promote the positive value of education, apprenticeships, and skills training to employers, learners, and parents.

As the only UK awarding body specialising in productivity, we focus on enhancing the UK's global competitiveness. As the second-largest awarding organisation in the UK construction sector, we are committed to advancing the future of UK and international construction.

NOCN is proud to be the first awarding organisation to receive the 'Leader in Diversity' award from the National Centre for Diversity. Recognised by Ofqual, CCEA, and the Welsh Government, we collaborate with strategic partners both in the UK and internationally.
