What's an accredited course?

Accredited courses have been approved by a professional body, meaning they meet the standards required for quality and relevance in the industry. In the UK, this ensures that the course content aligns with industry expectations and that it withstands the requirements of the job market. For example, a business management course might be accredited by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI).

Every course, as well as its accreditation, may vary depending on the course provider and the accreditation body.
