Angel Law asked:

Hello,I am interesting in this course, do I need to have a coffee machine or what else should I need to prepare at home for learning ? Thanks

Answer:

Hi Angel Thank you for your question. If you really want to get hands-on with making the coffee, yes, the best is to have a machine. However, you can complete the course without having a coffee making machine. The course is online. You can have a notebook to take notes if needed. KInd regards Renaldas

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.
