=Welcome to the __Northern Recognition Network__ Project=

This project was completed in November 2009. It aimed to establish the Northern Recognition Network (NRN) linking Community Colleges across three 'cluster' regions, and to develop/customise an online RPL tool for the **Certificate IV in Aged Care** for the Community College sector.

The three 'cluster' regions were:
 * **Mid North Coast Community Colleges (MNCC) -** Camden Haven; Coffs Coast; Forster Tuncurry; Macleay Valley; Nambucca; Port Macquarie; Taree and Wauchope.
 * **Northern Inland Community Colleges (NICC) -** Northern Inland and Tamworth.
 * **Northern Rivers Community Colleges (NR)** - ACE North Coast Inc; Alstonville-Ballina; Byron Region; Grafton and Murwillumbah.

The project was funded by NSW DET (COAG) RPL Promotion Projects. The project facilitator was Val Evans. The Project Coordinator was Julie McInerney.

The project did, in fact, achieve far more than its initial aim. The key outputs were:
 * A network of Community College Aged Care Assessors did exist for the life of the project and assisted in its development.
