Overview

Diploma in Disinfection Basics - Level 3

Disinfection is the process of clearing something to destroy or control bacteria and viruses from spreading. Disinfection is usually done by the use of chemicals and is an important concept that has to be followed by each and every single individual to lead a healthy and disease-free life. However, it is an even more important concept in industries such as healthcare, collection systems, water supply and public health industries to help professionals effectively carry about their day to day duties. Therefore, South London College has introduced this Diploma in Disinfection Basics at QLS Level 3 (USA Standards) to help the interested parties develop a basic knowledge on disinfection.

This basics course will discuss about the various waterborne pathogens to understand their harmful nature. You will get in terms with the basic disinfection rules that will help you get rid of bacteria and virus, after which the course will educate you on Halogen, Chlorine and alternative disinfectants. The Disinfection course will also guide you how to promote respiratory protection through proper disinfection. By the end of the Disinfection course, you will have a significant knowledge on the basics of disinfection to put them into use when required.

The Quality Licence Scheme, endorses high-quality, non-regulated provision and training programmes. This means that Imperial Learning Limited* has undergone an external quality check to ensure that the organisation and the courses it offers, meet defined quality criteria. The completion of the Disinfection 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 course have been benchmarked at Level 3 against level descriptors published by Quality Licence Scheme, to indicate the depth of study and level of demand/complexity involved in successful completion by the learner.

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

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.

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.
