Course Breakdown

The Card Making Business Diploma Course begins by explaining what exactly is in a card, why cards are important, the different types of cards that are available and in use today, as well as the different mediums that cards are presented on.

The course then moves on to discussing how an individual can get started, in terms of setting goals, choosing a niche, choosing materials, marketing the products, as well as ensuring quality control. From here the course focuses on the different skills that go into making a card, such as making and using stamps and inks, embossing, decoupage, paper crafting, making boxes and envelopes and determining how to position flowers and other add-ons onto the cards.

The next module instructs the reader how to develop his or her portfolio, and covers topics such as eye-catching designs and their importance, the right way of marketing and the need to keep a record of all the individuals who have received the portfolio and provided feedback on the designs of the cards.

Module five brings the focus to business matters, such as the pricing of the products, how to sell them, how to market them, and the importance of organisational skills for the card making business. The next module highlights the legal aspects and affairs that an individual thinking of starting a card-making business should be cognizant of. The module starts off by stressing on the importance of being aware of these legal matters, what is legally allowed in card making businesses in the United Kingdom and what is illegal for card making businesses to do in the United Kingdom.

Module seven shares various secrets of success with the reader. For example, it discusses factors such as how to sell on the popular online retail sites, Etsy and Amazon, how a card making business should go about building its customer base and what kind of promotional offers can be provided, without going into a loss.

The course concludes with a module that discusses and reviews all the chapters of the course, explaining what the purpose of each chapter was and what the reader should have learned from these chapters. The course also leaves the individual with guidance on the next steps to take or the next direction in which the individual can head towards.

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.
