Louise Ward asked:

Iam a BSc Hons qualified acupuncturist. I have 3500 hours of training. Anybody doing this course should not be allowed to practice acupuncture

Answer:

This course is aimed at those wanting to learn more information surrounding the topic of Acupuncture and is not aimed at those already in the field wanting to practice independently. In order to practice on clients independently there are a number of other steps in place required, such as insurance and further qualifications in the field. I hope this clears this up. Thanks,

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.
