Andrew Baxter asked:

Are you running the beginner course thanks

Answer:

Hi No I am afraid we do not do a beginners course in Freight Transport Operations. However, we are currently running a special offer whereby you can get free access to our learning materials (with no tutor) and there is a unit in the Level 1 Award in Logistics and Transport, which is called Transport and Distribution in Logistics. You can get free access to this and it might serve you well.

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.
