Overview

Diploma in Basic Chemistry - Level 3

Looking for the perfect foundation to further your studies or career aspirations in chemistry? Then this Diploma in Basic Chemistry – Level 3 is all the certification you need to bring your goals to life. This Basic Chemistry course will extensively cover the basics of chemistry to help you easily grasp the more advanced aspects of it in future. Since chemistry is a part of our daily lives, this Basic Chemistry course is also ideal if you wish to study more about the environment around you.

This insightful course will relay the fundamentals of basic chemistry such as sub disciples, chemical compounds and molecules. You will get to discover about energy, reaction, acidity, basicity and alkalinity, followed by lectures on the principles of modern chemistry, substances versus mixtures, Phase and bonding. This Basic Chemistry course will also discuss about PH, its definition and calculations to identify chemicals using them.

Chemistry mainly focuses on the chemicals and chemical reactions around us. Therefore, this Basic Chemistry course has dedicated a few modules that will educate you on the types of chemicals, main group elements and Lanthanides. This Basic Chemistry course also considers your health and safety while handling chemicals, which is why the course curriculum will walk you through the laboratory safety practices and methods and the Chemical Hygiene Plan (CHP).

The Basic Chemistry course has been endorsed under the Quality Licence Scheme. The completion of this Basic Chemistry course alone does not lead to a regulated qualification* but may be used as evidence of knowledge and skills gained. The Learner Unit Summary may be used as evidence towards Recognition of Prior Learning if you wish to progress your studies in this subject. To this end the learning outcomes of the Basic Chemistry course have been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by Ofqual, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

The Basic Chemistry course itself has been designed by Imperial Learning Limited* to meet specific learners’ and/or employers’ requirements which cannot be satisfied through current regulated qualifications.

The Quality Licence Scheme endorsement involves robust and rigorous quality audits by external auditors to ensure quality is continually met. A review of courses is carried out as part of the endorsement process.

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.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
