Diwash asked:

Once I pass this course I will get 70 hrs CPD as it is mentioned. But what is difference between level 3 CPD and 70 Hrs CPD?

Answer:

Hello Diwash, The level will generally relate to the difficulty of the course and how detailed the information discussed will be, a Level 3 is similar to GCSE Level of information. In regards to the hours, this is a recommended study time and refers to how many points the course is worth. 70 hours would be worth 7 CPD points.

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.
