Description

BACKGROUND:
Unlike partnerships, corporations are created by statute. On formation, the company becomes a separate legal entity. One important document which is an essential part of this process is the company constitution: previously called the memorandum and articles of association. The people who create the company are known as its promoters. If they do not carry out their tasks in accordance with the common law and the statute they will be liable to the company for breach of their fiduciary duties.

A company comes into existence on registration: the separate legal entity principle.

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.
