How to register a student

A centre must ensure it is registered as a full OCNW or approved member centre to deliver OCNW Teacher Training & Related programmes prior to registration of students.

For all subjects within Teacher Training & Related programmes a student must be registered with OCNW via the TTRQ Student Information Record Sheet (SIRS), this can be found in the
documents section.  If you are unsure which SIRS to complete contact the OCNW Accreditation Team email accreditation@ocnw.com or telephone 01524 845046.

Students must be registered with OCNW within 7 weeks of commencement of a programme.

Once the TTRQ SIRS has been completed with centre, subject and student details it must be returned to the OCNW Accreditation Unit.

Alternatively the TTRQ SIRS can be completed electronically and emailed to
accreditation@ocnw.com.
