Zafra asked:

Hello, Would this certification be accepted, when applying to jobs in NHS UK?

Answer:

Hi Zafra Yes the AMSPAR Medical Terminology qualification would be accepted when applying for Medical Sec jobs in the NHS. You would of course need to have a work permit and any other visa requirements set out by the Foreign Office to work in the UK if you are not living and working in the UK. AMSPAR are hoping to provide this qualification online from later in the year - but we await further updates. You can contact me directly from our website - Course and Careers Advisor

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.
