Overview

Working from Home - Covid and beyond | Employer health and safety obligations apply as much to home workers as they do other staff.

So, this online Working from Home: Health & Wellbeing for COVID-19 and Beyond courseprovides staff, line managers and organisations with the information they need to understand and manage common risks associated with home working. While content is relevant to home working at any time, reference is also made to the exceptional circumstances around COVID-19, together with guidance on how to cope with stress and anxiety during this period. The course also covers legal duties of employers and staff, as well as common risks linked to home working (such as DSE use) and how to manage them. A multiple choice quiz at the end of the course checks understanding. All learners also have the option of accessing a free ‘Working from Home Checklist’ to assess their own personal circumstances and record their findings.

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.
