Mike Barnes asked:

Can you tell me what Renewable Energy Expert Certificate is equivalent to in terms of qualification level

Answer:

Hi there Mike, Our training courses are aimed towards professional development, and they work towards CPD (Continuous Professional Development) hours, so this is vocational training opposed to academic. Our training courses are aimed at individuals who are looking to move in to a career in the renewable energy sector, or enhance their career within it. I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any further questions!

Steven asked:

How long does it take for one to complete this course? or does it depend on individual circumstances as it is self paced?

Answer:

Hi Steven, You will have a 6-month enrolment period to complete all 3 courses included in the Renewable Energy Expert Certificate. We recommend approximately 25 – 30hrs of study to review all of the course videos, course slides, and any additional course materials that are provided for each course. You can complete the course at your own pace, and you can complete the course and sit the exam for the GMC as quickly as you would like within this period. I hope this is helpful.

GNANESHWARI asked:

Hi, Does this course include exam fees?

Tejas asked:

Can I give the GMC exam without taking the course work?

Answer:

Hi Tejas, Just to clarify, the cost would remain the same for this pathway as there would be 3 GMC exams intricately linked to each of the courses to achieve this Expert Certificate. As the exams are included alongside each course we are not able to deduct a cost for sitting the standalone exams. I hope this helps, and please let us know if you have any further questions. Kind regrards, REI Team

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.
