As many of the courses that we offer are at the cutting edge of complementary therapy the acquisition of this accreditation allows the practitioner an added advantage in terms of credibility of their course and qualification.
Another advantage of the NOCN framework is that it allows for accredited prior learning to be taken into account if you have sufficient knowledge and experience in relevant topics and can provide verifiable evidence. This allows students of Lucis College to expand their range of skills without repetition of certain core topics such as the subtle energy systems.

          from the learner's point of entry to the learning process.
 
One

          limited range of predictable and structured contexts that prepare the learner to 
          progress to further achievements.
 
Two
          The acquisition of a broader range of competences, knowledge and understanding which
          demonstrate the extension of previous abilities in less predictable and structured
          contexts and prepare the learner to progress to further achievements.
 
Three
          The acquisition of a more complex range of competences, knowledge and understanding
          in contexts which develop autonomous, analytical and critical abilities that prepare 
          the learner to progress to further independent achievements.
