Working in the medical sector is interesting, challenging and rewarding - you'll need to be super-efficient with top IT skills, but also possess discretion, patience and empathy.

The subjects are also accessible via our distance learning platform, meaning you can combine your studies with existing home and work obligations.

Testimonial: Bridgette, Medical Office Award

After completing her Award, Bridgette started applying for work and secured two interviews very quickly. Shortly after one of her interviews, she was offered a Reception Admin role in a surgery. In a short amount of time, Bridgette was able to get the job she had been looking for, by recognising that she needed training to make up for her lack of experience, and she knew she’d need to study somewhere that would really boost her prospects.

When considering training to further your career, it is important to be able to answer the following questions with a firm 'yes':

  1. Is the training provider trustworthy and do they have a good track record?
  2. Will the training actually give me the vocational skills that I require to advance my career?
  3. Will potential employers/clients recognise the training and give me work as a result, so that I get a return on my investment?
  4. Will I enjoy the training and see it through to the end?

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.
