Overview

This e-Module enables you to understand how contracts are formed and the way in which different legal terms can be interpreted and applied in both dispute prevention and resolution.

Contracts exist in all areas of life and they are, by their very nature, designed to minimise misunderstandings between parties. However, sometimes disputes do arise, and in these situations it’s important that all parties understand the legal nature of a contract, its terms and what they can do to manage the dispute. This e-module provides an excellent introduction to contract law.

Description

The e-module has a number of different chapters on the formation of a contract, contractual terms and dispute resolution. Its learning outcomes include:

  • Identifying the ways in which contracts can generally arise;
  • Distinguishing contracts from other types of agreements;

  • The means by which contractual terms can be used to prevent and resolve disputes;

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.
