OCN NI Level 2 Award/Certificate in Religious Studies
The OCN NI Level 2 Award and Certificate in Religious Studies are designed for learners who wish to develop knowledge and understanding in religious studies in order to recognise religious choices people make based around faith practices within different religions in today’s society. It is intended that learners will develop empathy, respect and awareness of other religious beliefs and cultural diversity as they are applied in everyday life situations. These qualifications provide learners from different religions with opportunities to examine their own faith practices and those of others in the context of the units provided. By continuous assessment through building a portfolio, learners will be more motivated and engaged to successfully complete the qualification. Units to be studied include: Addiction, Charity and Religious Charities, Exploring Personal Identity and Faith, Exploring Religious Traditions within Own Community, Life and Death Issues, Life of a Famous Person of Faith, Marriage and Divorce, Prejudice and Reconciliation and World Faith.
