NOCN Group Expands its Presence in the GCC Region with the Opening of New Office in Bahrain

NOCN Group, a leading global awarding organisation and UK-Government approved End Point Assessment Organisation (EPAO), is thrilled to announce the opening of its new regional office in Bahrain.

This strategic move aims to serve the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region and further strengthen its commitment to serving the vocational training needs of the Gulf’s growing labour market.

The opening of the Bahrain office marks a significant milestone for NOCN Group, as it enhances its services and offerings to its expanding client base in the GCC.

Establishing a regional office in Bahrain allows NOCN to tap into the vast potential and opportunities in the GCC labour market. By expanding its presence in the region, NOCN aims to increase its income and bolster its offerings to meet the evolving demands of the GCC countries. In addition, the new office will play a pivotal role in delivering advanced, industry-driven qualifications to support the ambitious plans of the GCC countries in equipping their nationals with international skill sets in technical and vocational subjects.
