Why should I study an Award Qualification?

An Award provides the student with the most basic qualification within the Award, Certificate and Diploma system, which is advantageous for numerous reasons. The credits assigned to either an Award, Certificate or Diploma give us a suggestion of the length and duration of a course: the 1-12 credits which comprise an award qualification mean that the average student could take 10 hours to complete one credit, 120 hours in total to complete a short course or a short training qualification. 

By comparison, Certificate qualifications are worth 13-36 credits and Diplomas worth 37 credits. This means that an Award qualification, especially one studied remotely is the perfect part-time accompaniment to somebody with plenty of pre-existing professional or personal responsibilities, enabling the student to learn at their own convenience. 

How can I study an Award course?

Entry requirements for Award courses depend on the level of the Award and the provider of the course: entry-level Awards very rarely ask for academic qualifications, and Awards offered at higher levels might simply demand experience in the subject (for example management experience is needed to enrol for a Level 5 Management & Leadership Award course) or for the student to have completed preceding awards or other relevant academic qualifications. Some Award courses can be studied for in local colleges and education centres, whilst others are online courses taken via distance learning. 

What can I do after an Award course?

Some Award courses enable their students to go straight into work after completing their 120 hours of a training course; many use an Award qualification as a stepping stone to an entry-level job in their chosen field, where they can then take further Award levels as they work. 

Awards also provide a stepping stone into further study or even higher education, where students can choose to continue with their studies full-time, perhaps opting for a Certificate qualification before progressing onto a Diploma qualification. Awards can also enhance your CV and employability: those working in vocational professions can simply refine and improve their skill-set with an Award qualification specialising in their field.
