This programme is endorsed by OTHM Qualifications, who issue the certificateCourse overview
The programme is made up of 3 units, every one of them at level 3.
In total it carries 30 UK credits, which is 15 ECTS credits. It carries 150 guided learning hours, and OTHM put its total qualification time at 300 hours.
Every unit is worth 10 UK credits, which is 5 ECTS credits. Every unit carries 50 guided learning hours, and a total qualification time of 100 hours.
These three units are also the first three units of the diploma, so the certificate is a complete award in its own right and a learner who continues to the diploma repeats nothing.

Entry requirements
- There are no formal entry requirements. You do not need any previous qualification, and you do not need to be working or on a placement.
- The programme is studied and assessed entirely online and entirely in English, so you will need a computer with an internet connection, and enough English to read the material and write your own answers.
How you are assessed
Your work is assessed by our qualified assessors, internally quality assured, and externally quality assured by OTHM Qualifications. Assessment is against the criteria published in the programme specification, and your assessor tells you what is needed before you start each unit.
For what happens after you submit: who marks it, who checks the marking, how long feedback takes and what to do if you disagree with a decision, see how assessment works.
If you need an adjustment to how you are assessed, for a disability or any other reason, ask us before you begin. We arrange adjustments under our Reasonable Adjustments policy, and you can request one online.
How we assess and quality assure is set out in DAIS-POL-016 Assessment and Internal Quality Assurance.
How you study, and what you need
You study online through our virtual learning environment, which is where the teaching material, your assessment submissions, your feedback and your progress all live. You work at your own pace, with tutor support throughout. Everyone completes a short online induction before starting an assessed unit.
