Overview

As of 2021, there were roughly 13 million people aged 65 or older in the UK. This number is projected to climb to over 15 million by 2030. This means nearly one-fifth of the population will be reaching retirement age, potentially requiring care services.

Therefore, the need for experts who can complete these duties is growing. Here is where our Elderly Care and Caring for the Disabled Course comes in handy, helping you reach your highest level of proficiency in assisting the elderly.

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.
