NCC Education

A Message from Professor Peter Ford, Chair of NCC Education and Academic Board.

Professor Peter Ford, Chair of NCC Education and Academic Board, represents the academic leadership, quality assurance, and governance behind NCC Education’s internationally recognised British qualifications.

A Cambridge graduate, former Pro-Vice-Chancellor of the University of Nottingham, former Chair of the Universitas 21 steering group, past Director and Chair of a number of UK-based technology companies, and long-serving Director of NCC Education Limited, Professor Ford brings decades of academic leadership, higher education governance, and international education experience to NCC Education.

"NCC Education is pleased to welcome students, parents, schools, colleges, and education partners across Singapore, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia. With our heritage leading back to 1966, as part of a UK government initiative to support computing education, NCC Education has grown into an internationally recognised British awarding organisation with nearly six decades of global academic recognition.

Many of our qualification holders have gone on to become leaders across various global industries. Today, NCC Education qualifications are studied in more than 51 countries, delivered through a global network of over 300 schools, colleges, and Accredited Partner Centres, and supported by progression routes to more than 125 globally ranked universities and higher education institutions.

We believe that education should not be limited to one system, one examination, or one route to success. Every learner deserves access to a credible, flexible, and quality-assured pathway that helps them achieve their ambitions. As NCC Education expands its presence in Southeast Asia, we invite students, parents, and education partners to join us in building trusted British education pathways that are accessible, globally accepted, and UK accredited. NCC Education — Creating global pathways for tomorrow’s learners.”

The NCC Education team, including our Director of Global Business Development, Head of Partnerships and Product, and Senior Business Development Manager, alongside several of our valued partners, was delighted to attend the University of Greenwich International Partner Conference.

The conference brought together institutions and education leaders from across the global education community to exchange ideas, explore international education trends, and discuss ways to further support student progression and global learning opportunities.

It was fantastic to reconnect with partners, strengthen relationships, and engage in meaningful conversations focused on innovation, collaboration, and the future of higher education.

We look forward to the exciting discussions and opportunities still to come throughout the conference.

Ask many parents around the world why they place such high value on certain British qualifications, and the answer usually comes down to trust.

Trust in British heritage.
Trust in long-established institutions.
Trust in the fact that UK-regulated qualifications carry genuine global academic weight.
That instinct is well-founded.

What many families may not realise is that this same British heritage also applies to NCC Education.

Founded in the UK in 1966, NCC Education is a British awarding organisation that has operated under UK government regulation for decades. Its qualifications are overseen by Ofqual, the official regulator of qualifications in England and sit on the same national register as other well-known British academic pathways.

NCC Education is not a version of those qualifications, nor is it intended to replace them. It is a distinct British qualification, designed with a different purpose and a different assessment model.

Rather than relying on high-stakes examinations, NCC Education assesses students through applied learning. Learners progress by completing structured business and technology assignments over time, demonstrating understanding through work they produce, apply, and refine with feedback throughout the learning journey.

For families around the world, the key point is simple:
If British heritage, regulation, and global recognition are the reasons a British qualification was chosen, those same foundations apply to NCC Education.

Delivered through accredited partner centres around the world, NCC Education qualifications are open to O-Level, N-Level and ITE students, require no minimum entry results, and are accepted by more than 125 universities worldwide for direct entry into undergraduate degree programmes.

British heritage.
Applied learning.
Available globally through Accredited partner centres.
