Séan Lathey asked:

As this is level 4, do you need to have any previous experience or done a basic health & social care course?

Answer:

Hi there! Previous work experience this is not necessary; all topics are introduced from a Level 1 and moves up to the Level 3 (or 4). For learners with no previous experience or knowledge we would recommend starting at the Level 3 and progressing onto the Level 4 to ensure you get the most from your studies. Rest assured you will have access to full tutor support, and free exam retakes until you successfully complete your course - whether that is the Level 3 or 4. Hope this helps.

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.
