Testimonial

Mitt Nathwani - Oxford

I am delighted with this course!

I was interested in this course initially as a parent looking for new fun ways to entertain the kids. I thought balloon modelling would also be a fun skill to add to my CV!

That said, I didn't go into the course with huge expectations beyond what you might learn in online videos, but I was wrong!

The course covered business and marketing aspects that I wasn't really anticipating and will no doubt prove to be priceless in my day-to-day job, let alone if I decide to add balloon modelling to my career in some way. Add to this the clear on-screen instructions for what can be quite a fiddly subject, I must say that I am delighted with this course!

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

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.
