What our learners say:

"I chose to start with the Level 1 course, as English isn’t my first language and I had no previous experience. I completed Level 1 in 3 weeks, and 9 months later I’m now on Level 3. As I have kids, I study in the evenings but they are always quick to respond to any queries – even past 11 pm! I'm very happy studying with McArthur Online". Andreea Gliga

***

"I was looking to develop my professional skills for a new career and I have found studying with McArthur Online to be exceptional value for money. I have really enjoyed studying the Level 1 Bookkeeping course and I am now progressing with Level 2. Support from tutors is great and they respond to your emails really quickly. I believe this is a great course for someone new to finance who wants to build their confidence." James Ridley

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
