Extended training courses provided by Local Livelihoods are accredited with Open College Network (OCN).

Accreditation is optional; participants can choose whether or not to work towards a qualification.

Examination will always be based on how participants have applied the learning to their own situation and will therefore be of benefit to the organisation as a whole.

All OCN accreditation gained on Local Livelihoods courses can be used as accumulative points to gain entrance to higher education.
