Siobhán asked:

This was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
Kamali asked:

What about practicals

Answer:

You can do the new science A-levels without doing practical work, but this means your certificate won't have the "practical endorsement" on it. However, most universities will still require this endorsement if you wish to study a science subject at university. If you do wish to have the practical endorsement, there are routes, but they may be expensive.

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.
