Description

Introduction

These days there is a great deal of talk about ‘health and safety gone mad’; it is a

commonly held misconception that employers are being tied up in red tape by

unnecessary legislation; that accidents will always result in legal action and

thousands of pounds in compensation; and that nobody is allowed to exercise

common sense any more.

In reality, it is necessary to have a legal framework to ensure workplace safety and

prevent the hundreds of accidents, and deaths, which still occur each year. If you are

seriously injured at work it is unlikely that any amount of money will make up for your

pain, suffering and the on-going inconvenience of any long term health issue. Finally,

not everyone has ‘common sense’ or agrees what it means.

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.
