Overview

Diploma in Fundamentals of Macroeconomics - Level 3

Macroeconomics is an area that focuses on the performance, structure, behavior and decision making of an economy as a whole. Although excelling in this area is most ideal for economists, economic consultants and business consultants, small business owners, managers and other higher officials of an organisation might also benefit from its knowledge. Therefore, this Diploma in Fundamentals of Macroeconomics – Level 3 has been put together to help interested individuals understand all about macroeconomics and the components related to it.

In relevance to the course title, this course will delve into the whole concept of macroeconomics and its importance for an economy. You will then get to understand about price system and how it works, after which the course curriculum will touch on topics such as exchange rate, GDP, labour market, money and banks and many more.

This course has dedicated a few modules that will guide you on how to calculate profit and loss, how to predict market outcomes and how supply, demand and equilibrium works. A few chapters will also look into price discrimination and how the labour market works, all the while ensuring you get a good grip on the fundamentals of macroeconomics.

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.
