Plus, it’s structured to be accessible and beneficial even if you have no prior knowledge in Economics.

This Level 3 Diploma in Economics will provide students with an in depth knowledge of the topic area. Economics gives you diploma terminology and models to understand the world of money and finance, of employment, economic growth and international trade. You will need to get used to dealing with the specialist language of economics but you also need to be able to apply it to real life events. This course will enable you to do this comprehensively but you will also find it useful to keep up to date by reading newspapers, journals like The Economist and by watching or listening to radio and television.

Economics has a large amount of new terminology. You will be required to recognise and understand economics terms when you meet them and also to apply them to real life situations. Some of the terminology is used in ordinary language but in a quite different way in economics. You will also need to remember diagrams that explain economics. The lessons have been arranged to follow ten modules, but to provide for ease of understanding and topic coverage may be of different length and difficulty.

The modules have been organised to provide students with a sequence to develop a sound knowledge in Economics. At the end of each module there is exam preparation to complete. This will prepare the student for the final examination. Some of these sections have references to carefully selected websites to provide you with further practice, summaries and examples of topics covered in the lesson.

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.
