Overview

"Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination." – Sidney Sheldon. In a world driven by fast information and fleeting digital content, libraries remain one of the few trusted spaces where knowledge is preserved, shared, and nurtured. Imagine walking into a quiet, welcoming library where every book has a place, every reader has support, and every piece of information is carefully curated. That’s where the role of a skilled librarian begins. This course speaks to those who believe in the value of information, the need to manage it well, and the power it holds in shaping communities and learning.

In today’s fast-moving world, libraries are no longer just buildings filled with books—they are vibrant community centres, digital resource hubs, and safe spaces for lifelong learning. The Librarian Level 3 Advanced Training brings learners into the heart of this change. It focuses on how libraries evolve with new technologies, tackle issues like digital divide, and remain inclusive and relevant. This course addresses the urgent challenge of poor information management and declining public access to verified resources. By solving this, we support stronger, better-informed communities. Whether in schools, public libraries, or research centres, skilled librarians are needed more than ever.

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.
