Ascentis was the first 'Open College' in the UK and has been established since 1975
Ascentis was known as Open College North West (OCNW) until August 2009
Originally an institute for Universities and Colleges of Further Education, Ascentis is now a national qualification-awarding body.
Ascentis grew yet maintained its independence in order that it could continue to respond to the requirements of its customer.
Why choose Ascentis?
Ascentis aims to 'provide a consistently high standard of service to all centres across the country and in recent years to its increasing cohorts of overseas learners'
Ascentis is the only 'Open College' to become a National Awarding Body, approved by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority.
Ascentis is now accrediting learners in a number of countries around the world including Cyprus, Taiwan and Argentina.
