Equality & Diversity - Level 2 Certificate (RQF) Course

The Equality & Diversity – Level 2 Certificate (RQF) Course is for students who are wanting to improve their understanding of Equality and Diversity and gain a full Ofqual regulated qualification.

The course is designed to give staff members or those interested in working in this area, an overview of the issues surrounding stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination. The course will also help students to identify the basic rights that all people should enjoy and the shared values people have, and to examine the responsibility that each person and organisation has in ensuring that obstacles to participation in society are removed. Students will look at the various laws (legislation) which affect equality and diversity, and how organisations have to take them into account.

The objectives of this course are to help learners to raise their awareness of the issues surrounding equality and diversity and demonstrate this awareness through their actions in the workplace.

This course can be used to complement practical work, giving students the theoretical knowledge required. This qualification is suitable for both young (pre-16) and adult learners, including those in current employment or those seeking employment. It is also ideal for those who need to gain an awareness of issues surrounding equality and diversity, for example as part of a work-place induction programme or for personal development.

On successful completion of this course students will receive a Level 2 RQF Certificate Qualification with 18 credits from TQUK.

There are no particular entry requirements for this course.

Students can enrol providing they are comfortable studying at a Level 2 standard.
