Overview

A shell is an environment which provides an interface to the UNIX system. It gathers inputs from the user and executes programs according to it. Shell scripts, commands and programs can be run in the shell environment. The basic prompt which is also known as the command prompt in Shell is the ‘$’ sign.

In the UNIX system, there are basically 2 types of shells; known as the Bourne Shell and the C Shell.

Shell Programming also known as Shell Script is a program that runs on the Shell commands. It consists of one or more shell commands which are created using the text editor based on the user’s choice. These shell programs are executed just like shell commands which have permission modes and should have the correct set of permissions to execute a program.

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.
