Overview

Genetics plays a major role in shaping every living organism, including humans, animals, and plants. The growing demand for personalised healthcare, gene-based treatments, and genetic screening has made genetics one of the fastest-growing sectors in healthcare and life sciences. This Genetics Training Course is designed to provide a strong foundation in the core principles of genetic science and its application in modern medicine and diagnostics. It addresses everything from DNA structure and gene inheritance patterns to the interpretation of genetic testing and ethical considerations. With developments in genome sequencing and DNA testing, professionals in this field need to stay updated on how genetic information is used in disease prediction, prevention, and tailored treatments.

This course also prepares learners for professional roles that require the application of genetic knowledge in clinical or research environments. The curriculum covers areas such as the diagnosis of inherited conditions, support in genetic counselling, and contributing to genomic research projects. As genomics is increasingly being integrated into everyday healthcare decisions—from cancer therapies to rare disease diagnosis—the demand for skilled professionals is rapidly growing.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, learners will be able to:

  • Explain how genes, DNA, and chromosomes function and interact.

  • Identify and describe patterns of genetic inheritance.

  • Understand the causes and implications of common genetic disorders.

  • Use genomic data to inform healthcare and research decisions.

  • Apply ethical frameworks in genetic testing and counselling.

  • Support patients and families in genetic counselling settings.

  • Integrate genetic knowledge into public health, research, and diagnostic work.

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.
