Quality Assurance
Approved Centres delivering OCN provision – whether Access to HE Diplomas, OCN London qualifications – must have quality management systems in place to underpin that delivery.
Systems will vary between centres according to what is appropriate in the particular situation. Practices that work in a large centre will not necessarily work in a small one. Also, an employer-based provider may have different requirements from a college, which could be different again from a voluntary organisation. Whatever the situation, we have two key requirements:
- There must be an appropriate system in place
- There must be evidence that it is implemented effectively
‘Quality management systems’ covers the practices of assessment and internal quality assurance (itself incorporating standardisation). Each approved centre must have a named Quality Assurance Contact, who is responsible for ensuring that these systems are in place and are being implemented effectively.
