Illisa's Graphic Design testimonial

Illisa was looking to make a career change, when she came across her local Pitman Training centre in Reading. With a background in Marketing, Illisa really wanted to move over to a creative role, but had no experience of the technical design programs.

Overall, Illisa felt that she greatly enjoyed her experience of studying with it, and we have given her the skills and confidence to start her new career.

Since her studies, she’s already taken on various projects, including designing logos for a security company, helping with a mentoring program for an event for Scotland Yard, and working on a website and social media for a production company.

When considering training to further your career, it is important to be able to answer the following questions with a firm 'yes':

  1. Is the training provider trustworthy and do they have a good track record?
  2. Will the training actually give me the vocational skills that I require to advance my career?
  3. Will potential employers/clients recognise the training and give me work as a result, so that I get a return on my investment?
  4. Will I enjoy the training and see it through to the end?

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.
