Liam asked:

i passed my level 2 12 yaers ago and worked in the gym environment for 2 years wish to rejoin the industry is my level 2 still valid for this course.

Answer:

Hi Liam. Thanks for the message. Would it be possible to e-mail us a copy of your Level 2 certificate? We would need to see it to look at the unit titles and breakdown to check whether we could use it as a prerequisite. Because it is 12 years old, it may be a question of just completing some additional units with your Level 3, but if you have already completed the Level 2, we could potentially fast track you through those units. Many Thanks Daniel

This was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
