Overview

Writing a novel is not an easy task as some people suppose. It is hard work, but seeing the innumerable number of novels being published every year and countless others still in print, we can conclude that hard work can pay off. If you are someone trying to write a novel for the first time or trying to get one published at least this time unlike the previous attempts, then what you need to do is make sure that apart from talent, your technique and motivation is the apt one. To a beginner, writing a novel can pose myriads of problems, but worry not, as the Novel Writing and Publishing Diploma gives you an idea of the problems you may encounter and how you can confront them.

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.
