Version 2: One day, Tim was walking in the forest when he saw a big bear. Tim ran as fast as he could, but the bear was faster. He climbed up a tree and tried to hide. The bear came closer and closer. Tim's heart was pounding, but he stayed still. After a while, the bear got bored and went away.

The difference between these two versions is crystal clear. The first version is filled with grammar errors and incorrect punctuation, making it challenging to understand and diminishing the impact of the story. On the other hand, the second version, which has been properly proofread and edited, communicates the narrative effectively, enhancing its readability and impact.

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.
