Overview

The human body is a complex machine which forms the structure of your entire body. Everything works in cohesion to help you function, from the way you walk to how your body rests and regenerates when you sleep.

The study of the human body is beneficial to many professions and it involves health professionals, physiologists, physiotherapists, and anatomists.

This course will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the human body and the accompanying physiological process that allow it to function for maximum benefit. You will have a detailed explanation of some more complex aspects of anatomy such as the skeletal and muscular systems, the heart, the brain, spinal cord and the autonomic nervous system.

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.
