Overview

People are increasingly becoming interested in property and establishing businesses under the umbrella title ‘House Doctor’.

In essence a house doctor provides a service that helps home owners achieve their goals. It could be as simple as a verbal list of suggestions of things that might help, or as in depth as a full house makeover. Generally speaking it does not include emergency repairs or remodelling.

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.
