Overview

What is This Course About?

It starts off by discussing what economics is and why it is important, the roles of money in the economy, and the terminology used in the discipline. It then breaks down the law of supply and demand, economic systems and market structures, and the roles of banks and financial services authority. The course also explores macroeconomics, global trading, and various types of investments available to consumers.

Economics affects just about everyone. After all, it is all about the supply and demand of goods and services and how people deal with such resources and interacts with the market that provides them. Therefore, understanding economics is key to knowing how individuals and the society make decisions. Through this introductory course on the subject, students will learn the fundamental concepts of economics and see how simple changes can affect the flow of economy.

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.
