Overview

History is the study of past events. By analysing the past we can more fully understand the present and examine how past events influence the current state of the world. For example, it would be impossible to understand the present social, economic and political climate without referring to the events of the 20th century, or the events of the 1900s (18th century) without looking at the 1800s (17th century).

This IGCSE History Home Study course is aimed at those who want an introduction to history in order to either progress to further study at A Level or simply to supplement a varied portfolio of IGCSE/GCSE subjects.

Description

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.
