Fiona asked:

Can you explain the CPD "points"/7 hours? It says you can do the course over 12 months/60 hours. So what does the 7 hours refer to?

Answer:

Hi Fiona, The course CPD points (should you need CPD points for your profession) will give you 7 CPD points. In terms of course study hours, the guided learning hours (how long it may take you to study the course) is 60 hours. And you will have access to the course for 12 months. I hope that makes sense.

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.
