Ighillas - Paris asked:

Shall I respect 12 months to ashieve the end of this course or I can ashieve it for example in 2, 3, 4... months?

Answer:

All GoSkills courses are online and self paced, so you can complete the course at your convenience. The Public Speaking course is 36 lessons and we estimate that a lesson will take 30 minutes to complete. So, the entire Public Speaking course will take you approximately 18 hours to complete. You have 12 months access to the course, but if you complete in the first month that works. You can just use the course as reference for the remaining 11 months. Thanks, GoSkills Support

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.
