Kris Godden asked:
I have seen a few different completion times for this course. Some even state 48 hours. In reality how long will it take?
Answer:
Hi Kris,
Those advertising 48hrs will definitely be just where they deliver teaching sessions, but after that you are then left on your own to complete your portfolio, like completing your assignments and putting your evidence together so you can send them to assess once you complete. Realistically the average completion time is 3 months, but we have learners who completed in one month or less as they really needed the certificate for their job, so they worked on their assignments everyday.

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.
