OCN Qualifications Available

The National Open College Network provides external moderation. You will receive a certificate from
NOCN. You will also receive a certificate from Lucis College

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.
Please note there is an additional fee for the OCN accreditation

Level Descriptors

These levels have the following descriptors:

Entry
          The acquisition of a limited range of basic skills, knowledge and understanding in highly
          structured and self-referenced contexts which permit the identification of progression
          from the learner's point of entry to the learning process.
 
One
          The acquisition of a foundation of competences, knowledge and understanding in a
          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.
