The Busines Professional Series
On successful completion of your studies, you receive two certificates as proof of study and development:
Focus Awards is regulated as an Awarding Organisation by Ofqual, the UK government’s qualification regulator for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Non-regulated qualifications endorsed under the FQP Scheme are ideal for professionals who need to demonstrate commitment to CPD (Continuing Professional Development), and for those wanting to gain specialist knowledge of a particular subject.
RQF Qualifications are nationally recognised, so applicable to any relevant employment.
Anyone with a reasonable standard of general education will be able to cope with the academic demands.
If you can read and write well enough to complete a job application and have a good grasp of basic maths (add, subtract and divide) you should have no problems.
The learning materials are written in simple everyday language, and you complete the answers to your assignments in the same style. In addition to the comprehensive learning materials, you also receive a Study Guide to help you, and your Tutor provides support throughout.
Your course covers the areas of study listed above through detailed exploration of the subject matter. You also receive tasks to complete and prompts to carry out further personal exploration and research, enabling you to monitor your own progress and gauge how much you have learned.
Plenty of examples contained within the materials help you but using your initiative and carrying out personal research helps you gain a more complete understanding. In turn, this helps you answer the assignment questions more fully and speeds your progress.
We run two types of courses:
These are ideal for CPD requirements for professionals needing to maintain their status with membership bodies, for learning information about special interest subjects or for research. Your work is not graded; assignments are simply identified as Pass, Fail or Referred.
The learning materials and accompanying tasks help you develop the necessary knowledge and confidence to successfully complete the tutor marked assignments.
The tasks encourage you to apply your knowledge and help you to develop relevant research and academic writing skills.
Yes. Your Tutor will ask you to resubmit your assignment and give you some pointers as to where you could improve.
You email or upload your assignments through your secure portal one at a time for marking.
Your tutor then assesses the standard and style of your work for each section, and gives you feedback to use on your next assignment, facilitating the process of continuous improvement.
On obtaining feedback and commentary from your Tutor you will either move on to the next assignment or review and rework the one you submitted.
You receive login details to our Online Student Community, usually within a few minutes of enrolment. Once logged in you can access your course materials, contact your tutor, submit your work, and interact with other learners via the online forums.
Your studies should be completed within 12 months, but this timeline can be extended for a small fee if your tutor supports your request. As a rough guide, depending on your circumstances and commitment, you can complete your studies in about 100 study hours. There are no other deadlines to meet.
Although a word count is not given for the tutor marked assignments, it is important that you demonstrate to your Tutor that you have fully understood the questions; a comprehensive Study Guide is included with your materials. Many students start slowly at first, but your Tutor will give guidance to help and encourage you to improve.
You need to use email and the internet to access your materials, submit assignments and conduct research. A computer or laptop is ideal for this, but you can also use a smartphone or tablet if more convenient.
All the learning materials are online. You receive a login to the online student community when you enrol, where you can access the full set of materials and assessment tasks for your course.
