Overview

Good advertising is advertising which sells the product! Advertising which looks beautiful and reads well may indeed sell the product but then again, it may fail to do so if other things in the marketing mix are not equal.

This course should be of interest to a wide range of business people, especially those for whom advertising is but a single facet of their responsibilities. It is meant to give a useful working background to help people to deal more effectively with advertising agencies, and also to 'do their own advertising.

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.
