First OCN Certified Fundraising Training Participants

Congratulations to Lisa Butler and Jenny McGranaghan of Optua who become the first learners to successfully complete OCN Certification of learning through our Finding Funding training course.

Peter See, Training Manager, explains: “ In order to achieve OCN certification, learners are asked to complete a short pre-course exercise, maintain a record of case studies and discussion whilst attending the one-day Finding Funding course and then submit a piece of post-course work.  For anyone considering a career in fundraising or wishing to accredit their professional development this is a great opportunity.  The certificate is worth One Credit at Level Three towards a National Occupational Standard in fundraising, “F19 Develop and Implement an Integrated Fundraising Plan”.

In order to offer this accreditation we had to satisfy NOCN that we had the necessary policies and procedures in place and submit portfolios of evidence about the planning, delivery, assessment and verification of the course.  We are delighted that Lisa and Jenny have been successful and look forward to further participants in Finding Funding taking up this option.”
