Description

When you flip through magazines dedicated to homes and housekeeping, you often see picture-perfect rooms that are worth the applause and appreciation. Chances are, you want to know how to achieve beautiful and functional spaces for living or work. You might think that it is all because of the décor that are perfectly put together. Yet, it is just a small part of the equation. A more important factor that contributes to the overall look, feel, and function of a space is none other than its interior design.

Interior design is all about enhancing interior environments to make it aesthetically pleasing and more pleasurable for end users. It does not focus on putting decorations alone, but may also include space planning and structural change.

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.
