Overview

Imagine you're at a doctor's appointment. You're feeling unwell, and you're hoping to get some relief. The doctor examines you and then prescribes you some medication. You leave the doctor's office feeling hopeful that your symptoms will soon improve.

However, what happens if you don't take your medication correctly? What if you miss a dose? Or what if you take more than you're supposed to? These are just a few of the problems that can occur if you don't manage your medication correctly.

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.
