Description

The course is designed to be studied from home by distance learning, at your own pace and in your own time. You will be introduced to the different forms of emotional expression, and the nature of sensation and perception. If you have an interest in memory, and the way your brain works, you will be completely absorbed by the course content.

You will discover just how far our psychology and our emotional make-up influence our everyday lives. From the way we deal with stress and anxiety, to the impact our relationship with our parents has. From our early sexual development and our approach to prejudice and discrimination, to society’s influence on us and the way we conform (or otherwise).

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.
