Do you offer two learners?? As I don't have access to learners. How long do I need to finish it? Is it ofqual regulated?

Answer:

Hi Sandra, Yes! all of our courses are Ofqual regulated. We typically see this course completed within 1-3 months depending on how much time you have to commit to it. Unfortunately, we are unbale to provide the two learners or a placement for your observations, however this can be voluntary or paid. We can provide an observer for you and this is inclusive in your pricing. Thank you!

Amelie Potts asked:

Will the assessor go to my workplace to assess me or I have to arrange someone who is qualified assessor? Can the assessment be done via video call?

Answer:

Hi Amelie, you choose to use your own qualified assessor to conduct your observations or we can alternatively provide one for you remotely (via Zoom). We hope this helps!

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.
