Courses By Subject

Courses By Level

Oakwood’s 'Fundamentals' and 'Certified' courses are designed to support learners at different stages of their professional development. 

'Fundamentals' courses are ideal for those who are new to a subject area, offering a solid grounding in key principles, terminology, and practical application. These courses typically last between 8 to 12 hours and are assessed through a series of short exams completed during the course. In contrast,

'Certified' courses are aimed at individuals seeking a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the subject. These programmes involve approximately 120 hours of study and incorporate a blend of short exams and written assignments, enabling learners to demonstrate both their theoretical knowledge and their ability to apply it in realistic scenarios.

High Quality Endorsed Training

The Quality Licence Scheme endorses high-quality, non-regulated provision and training programmes. The Quality Licence Scheme recognises a provider’s commitment to high-quality courses in the non-regulated market by evaluating their quality processes and endorsing them. The endorsement shows that the provider is committed to high quality and enables the providers to provide their learners with Certificates of Achievement and external recognition on the completion of their course. Endorsed courses are not regulated or accedited by Ofqual. Each course description will advise you whether it has been endorsed by the Quality Licence Scheme or not. If required we can advise you on any further recognition, for example progression routes into further and/or higher education.
