Overview

Archaeology is the scientific study of human history through the excavation and analysis of material remains. This field allows us to explore ancient civilisations, cultures, and the environment from a perspective that textual records alone cannot provide. With a rich history spanning over thousands of years, archaeology offers insights into the evolution of societies, technologies, and human interactions with the environment. It plays a vital role in preserving our heritage, understanding the past, and informing future generations. Archaeological studies provide not only a connection to ancient civilisations but also help us address contemporary issues related to culture, identity, and historical preservation.

This Archaeology Level 2 Training course is designed to give students a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of archaeology and the methods used in the field. Through this course, learners will develop essential skills, from surveying archaeological sites to understanding dating techniques that help place historical objects in context. The course covers vital techniques such as excavation and documentation, both of which are central to the work of archaeologists.

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.
