Description

History is the disciplined study of past societies, events, and institutions. This Level 3 Training programme provides a comprehensive academic overview of historical methodology and key developments in UK History.

The course begins with an introduction to advanced historical study. Learners explore the importance of studying History, examining how past events shape contemporary society. Historical methods and source evaluation are introduced to explain how historians analyse documents, artefacts, and oral accounts. Critical thinking skills are developed to support balanced interpretation and evidence-based argumentation.

The early History of the UK forms the next stage of study. Learners examine prehistoric Britain, including archaeological evidence of early communities. Roman Britain is analysed to explore governance, infrastructure, and cultural exchange. Anglo-Saxon England and Viking invasions are discussed to highlight shifting power structures and cultural integration. The Norman Conquest is examined as a turning point in political organisation and land ownership.

Medieval and Tudor periods are explored through themes of monarchy, warfare, religion, and governance. The Wars of the Roses and Tudor consolidation of power illustrate dynastic conflict and state formation.

Stuart and Georgian eras introduce constitutional development, civil conflict, and evolving parliamentary systems. Learners examine the English Civil War, the Glorious Revolution, and the foundations of constitutional monarchy.

Industrial and modern History modules explore economic transformation during the Industrial Revolution, social change in Victorian Britain, and the profound impact of the World Wars. Learners analyse how industrialisation reshaped labour, urbanisation, and global influence.

Contemporary UK History modules examine post-war reconstruction, political reform, decolonisation, and societal change during the 20th and 21st centuries. Current challenges are analysed within long-term historical frameworks.

The research project module introduces topic selection, research design, evidence evaluation, and structured academic writing. Learners develop analytical arguments supported by historical evidence.

Assessment consists of a final online examination and written assignment designed to evaluate comprehension of historical periods, research methodology, and analytical reasoning.

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.
