Overview

We all want to retain the same standard of living when we retire so that the years of hard work finally pays off. And pension is the key to ensure that. But the question is — are you well-versed in the laws and regulations around pension schemes, or your rights regarding them?

Retirement may look like a blissful phase of life, but it can turn into a nightmare without financial solvency. Pension is the fund into which an amount of money is deposited throughout an employee's working years and from which monthly payments are extracted to finance retirement. It is the safety net that retirees rely on to keep this golden period lasting.

Although pension planning can be quite complex, a proper guideline on the topic can help you with that. Also if it’s a well-articulated course, it can also lead you to a plethora of rewarding career opportunities. Our course checks all the requirements above, where you can learn everything in no time!

This course is endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme, ensuring your newly acquired skills will enhance your professional development.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

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.
