Recognising the demand from its members for establishing a benchmark for best practice in outsourcing, the NOA is proud to be the only UK entity to offer professional outsourcing qualifications, fully accredited by Middlesex University through its training arm, NOA Pathway.
There are different qualifications and entry points available, to ensure that every outsourcing professional is catered for. Across all levels, the emphasis is placed firmly on cementing knowledge from day-to-day work experience, sharing best practice and learning from and with others. This is complemented by insight and best practice from the NOA Lifecycle.
NOA Pathway offers the following awards:
• NOA Professional Certificate (Cert.NOA)
• NOA Advanced Professional Certificate (Cert.NOA)
• NOA Diploma in Strategic Global Outsourcing (Dip.NOA)
• Masters in Strategic Global Outsourcing (MA)
These qualifications are awarded by the NOA and accredited by Middlesex University; one of the UK’s leading work-based academic institutions. The NOA Professional Certificate and the NOA Advanced Professional Certificate are both undergraduate level courses and the NOA Diploma in Strategic Global Outsourcing is accredited at post-graduate (masters degree) level. Participants can follow the programmes from entry-level right through to diploma level, or complete one of the three qualifications. The NOA Gateway can be taken as a standalone module but it is also the first step towards completing the NOA Professional Certificate.
Programme materials are available online, allowing individuals the freedom to study at their own pace, alongside their work commitments. NOA Pathway also offers a range of professional development programmes in addition to the qualifications.
As a qualified outsourcing professional, you can demonstrate your knowledge of and commitment to, the outsourcing industry. Stand out from the crowd with an accredited qualification from the NOA.
