Overview

The Paleo diet, as many people would argue, is probably the best and maybe even the only dietary approach that complements the human body. It is an attempt to eat like our ancestors did; the very, very old ancestors, that is. Whatever the cave dwelling population hunted, gathered and consumed is part of the diet whereas all other foods are avoided. This means that natural sources of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals are chosen over the modern diet of refined foods, unhealthy sugars and trans fat. While the current generations are aging and dying from diseases like diabetes, Parkinson’s, obesity and cardiovascular disease, our cavemen ancestors were healthy and agile. Therefore, the Paleo diet attempts to emulate and promote their natural eating habits.

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
