Description

Introduction
Asbestos, a naturally occurring mineral has in the past been regarded as a miracle
substance because of its many properties, particularly, flame resistance. However,
even historically it has been linked to long term illness. Asbestos once assimulated
into body cells can lead to a range of painful, debilitating and often fatal diseases
such as Mesothelioma, Asbestosis and lung cancer.


Although banned from use in the UK since 1999, older buildings still contain
asbestos within many building materials. The 2012 Control of Asbestos Regulations
states that there is a "duty to manage" any asbestos in the building. This course will
clarify the responsibilities of duty holders, inform those who work within asbestos
containing buildings and meet the legislative requirement for awareness training.

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.
