Franklyn Brook asked:

Hi , I want to ask a quick question after taking this course do I still need to do the Mappa practical ? Thanks

Answer:

Hi there, This short course is knowledge-only so if your employer requires you to demonstrate your learning in a practical, real world scenario then this course would not be enough on it's own, I'm afraid. Best wishes, Sophie

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.
