Open College Network

The Open College Network (OCN) is an organization that offers learners a flexible way to earn recognized awards, such as certificates and diplomas, through a wide range of courses and informal learning. It often provides accreditation for learning outside traditional college settings, including community programs and workplace training. OCN assessments focus on practical skills and knowledge, allowing learners to demonstrate competence in real-world contexts. Its flexible approach helps individuals of all backgrounds access lifelong learning opportunities, gain qualifications, and improve personal and professional development outside traditional academic paths.
