Testimonial: Dori, Excel 2013

"I 100% recommend Pitman’s. I haven’t done a course in ages and I am not the kind of person that enjoy studying but funnily enough when I was doing my course, I always looked forward to Thursdays as the course was so much fun. Even for someone that usually struggles or is not 100% confident in the subject, Pitman’s makes it so easy. Just try it … and you will have all the help that you need.”"

When considering training to further your career, it is important to be able to answer the following questions with a firm 'yes':

  1. Is the training provider trustworthy and do they have a good track record?
  2. Will the training actually give me the vocational skills that I require to advance my career?
  3. Will potential employers/clients recognise the training and give me work as a result, so that I get a return on my investment?
  4. Will I enjoy the training and see it through to the end?

FAQs

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development. If you work in certain professions or for certain companies, your employer may require you to complete a number of CPD hours or points, per year. You can find a range of CPD courses on Reed Courses, many of which can be completed online.

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.
