Joseph asked:

How will the practical assessment be taken for someone that’s unemployed but wants to get into the field and secure this certificate?

Answer:

Good Morning Joseph - I could do with sending you more information as I can't attached anything on here - can you let me have it as all I can see is your name. If you’re struggling to send it google PIP Services in Dagenham and give me a call my name is Harry I’d be happy to discuss this with you? Or you can email me mine is Harry at piptfw dot co dot uk and then send over everything straight away.

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.
