Description

It's well known that in China, popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube are not available. Instead, local equivalents the likes of Weibo, WeChat, and Youku has sprung up in the last decade that caters specifically to the Chinese demographic, psychographics, and consumer needs. A lot of people are surprised at the level of mobile and social media adoption by the Chinese netizens, and the vast opportunities this present for businesses that operate in China.

But these opportunities are not limited to China-based businesses. More and more, the global Chinese consumer class is taking its consumer habits and spending power with it abroad.

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.
