What participants are saying about this course:

"I found the Essential Management Skills course invaluable - it felt like therapy for work! The two-day in-person course was dynamic and engaging from start to finish, and I left buzzing with practical tools and tactics that I’ve already started to put into practice. What really impressed me was how personal and tailored the overall experience felt. The three coaching calls - including a pre-course session - were a real highlight, giving space to reflect, build confidence, and hit the ground running from day one. Ross is a fantastic trainer: approachable, engaging, and insightful. His style and delivery brought the content to life and made the whole experience all the more impactful" - Jess K

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.
