Sharon asked:

If only half the course is completed before a student drops out, are there any charges. I’ve seen on a review there’s a £125 cost as it’s Gov funded?

Answer:

Dear Sharon, This is an online-based course for which you will get 1-year access to the course to complete it. If the time expires you can pay an additional amount to extend the access duration for a lifetime. If anyone drops out and does not want to continue the course, he or she will not be charged.

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.
