Overview

These days, work-related stress, strained relationships and sedentary lifestyle are all too common issues people face. Frequent exposure to these has been proven to have significant impact on physical and mental health. To counter and prevent such effects, some people opt to take over-the-counter herbal remedies and supplements as part of their regular diet.

While there is nothing wrong with taking such medicines, if taken without proper guidance, these medicines can be potentially dangerous, particularly to those with certain medical conditions. As such, before prescription or intake, the clinical and therapeutic uses, ingredients, and possible side-effects of these medical remedies must be properly explained first. A specialist in herbs and supplements is someone who can do such a job effectively.

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.
