These days, the internet is a daily fact of life, both at home and in the workplace. While it has opened up a whole new world of possibilities in the modern age, the downside is that it has also made us vulnerable to the actions of individuals who seek to profit from online crime. Ensuring online safety is every bit as important as making sure your door is locked at night, and this short online course is designed to guide you through all you need to know to stay safe online.

Who Is the Course For?

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.
