Overview

E-Commerce is the process of a transaction, whether it be buying or selling, in an online format. In 2017, the UK was the second largest e-Commerce market in Europe, with approximately 87% of UK consumers buying at least one product online.

Description

The online market has become extremely profitable for organisations, and with the emergence of m-Commerce (mobile commerce) it is thought that by 2040, 95% of purchases will be facilitated by e-Commerce. The systems behind e-Commerce make it a very attractive proposition to businesses of all sizes, as the process of putting through the transaction is much cheaper than the traditional brick and mortar setting of high street merchants.

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.
