Questions and answers

No questions or answers found containing ''.

Ian Clarke asked:

Can the course be done separately from the exams? Can the physical activity be therapy?

Answer:

Hello Ian, Yes the course can be completed separately from the exam. Ultimately you need to pass the exam in order to gain the qualification but in the short term you can study the course without booking the exam. The activity needs to be something physical - either a team sport or a solo pursuit (climbing, cycling, dance etc..)

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.
