Overview

Ecology as a field of study has been around for centuries, with the ancient Greeks and Romans exploring the natural world and its ecosystems. But it was not until the mid-19th century that the term "ecology" was first coined by the German biologist Ernst Haeckel. Since then, ecology has become a critical field of study, with scientists and researchers around the world working to understand the complex interactions between living organisms and their environment.

The importance of ecology has only grown in recent years, as the world faces a variety of environmental challenges, including climate change, habitat destruction, and biodiversity loss. As such, there is a growing need for individuals with a deep understanding of ecological principles and practices, who can work to protect and restore the natural world.

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.
