Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology: The Future of Medicine and Industry

In the golden age of Renaissance, alchemists diligently sought to transform base metals into gold. Their pursuits, though metaphoric, mirrored humanity's age-old dream to refine and modify elements of nature. Fast forward to the present, and scientists have indeed turned this dream into reality, not with metals, but with the very fabric of life itself – DNA. Today, through the marvels of Genetic Engineering, we have the capacity to rewrite the code of life, unlocking vast potential and reshaping our world. This isn't the work of alchemy; it's the magic of Biotechnology.

The significance of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology in today's context cannot be understated. Let's turn our attention to the factual landscape:

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.
