Overview

Are you interested in becoming a beekeeper or do you want to learn how the bee farming sector works? Then this course will adequately teach you know all about Bee Farming and Honey Making.

There is an increasing demand for honey in the world. Still, a large portion of the nectar from bees is being gathered from the wild and a constrained amount is only created through business units. In the scattered business units, due to less specialised learning and poor framework of the beekeepers, the honey creation is also less. However, there’s an awesome potential exists in the beekeeping sector, where we may take advantage of by encouraging the general public.

At the town level, successful honey creation gives economic security to the bee farmers and it also helps in strengthening the beekeeping sector. Beekeeping likewise helps save the characteristic assets of the farmers. There is a need to confer enhanced specialised know-how to the customary beekeepers keeping in mind the end goal to encourage them of enhanced innovations that are accessible for them. All of these and the basics of beekeeping will be learned through this diploma course.

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.
