Course
The course overview will offer you a way to understand the basic content that has been
included in the course. Each and every course has its own course overview at ILC, which
offers the learners a better way to know about the course.
What is a Certificate?
ILC offers two major types of qualifications i.e. the professional qualifications which are
endorsed by the awarding bodies (TQUK and ABC Awards) and NVQ qualifications. After
the completion of a course the college will issue the course completion certificate while the
accredited or endorsed certificate will be issued from the awarding body that will include
the course name, student name, registration number, credit hours, and a complete
transcript.
Course Structure
The course structure is based on your course. Each professional course has its own
structure and is divided into different levels. From Level 1 to Level 4 the courses are
benchmarked against the Ofqual guidelines. In Level 1 the 30 credits will be assigned to
students and they will be taught 3 to 4 units. The Level 3 qualifications are 60 credits and
level 4 qualifications are of 90 credits. To achieve an accredited certificate the learner
must have to achieve all of the credit hours.
For further information about the course structure you can find on Moodle/ VLE Course
Module Descriptor & Units Descriptor.
Course delivery
 Your course is online
 You will view your training and upload your assignments on our e-learning
platform, known as ‘Moodle’.
 Inspire London College’s online tutor will support you online and mark your work.
 The ILC’s student support officer and team will be there for your help.
How is it assessed?
Each unit is divided into Learning Outcomes. These are statements of what you
can be expected to know, understand or do as a result of the process of learning.
These learning outcomes are divided into Assessment Criteria. These are descriptions
of the requirements you are expected to meet to demonstrate that a learning outcome
has been achieved. To achieve the unit the learner must provide evidence to meet all of
the assessment criteria of the unit.
Assessment
You will be assessed by Inspire London College’s Assessor. A range of assessment

methods may be used. When an assessment criteria is met, it will be graded ‘pass’. If
there is further evidence required, it will be graded ‘referred or fail’ and your assessor will
give feedback as to how you can meet the criteria. You can resubmit an assignment as
many times as you need to.
Time Frame
After the final submission of an assignment your tutor or assessor will mark the
assignment within 7 working days and will be responsible for providing the feedback
within 7 working days. In case, of any delay you can make any complaint to college’s
administration. If there are any types of technical issues then college will inform you
earlier. After getting a feedback the learners will be assigned the next unit and
assessment to work on.
Internal Quality Assurance
Your work will be subject to an Internal Quality Assurance process where an Internal
Quality Assurer (IQA/IV) will sample work to check and standardise assessment
decisions made by your assessor.

Introducing ILC Moodle
Moodle is online Learning Platform. ILC has developed a comprehensive and user-friendly
VLE/Moodle.
 induction of the course and college

 accessing the training content for each Unit

Getting started on Moodle

Please find below the complete procedure for assessing the Moodle.

time of making a request for support you will be asked to provide the following
information;
• Complete Name
• Student ID
• Course Name
• Email Address
The role of your Tutor is:

Upon successful registration and enrollment, online tutor will email you to provide online
support. If you need any assistance or clarification, Please always contact your teacher via
email study@inspirelondoncollege.co.uk.
Technical support
If you are struggling with Moodle and you cannot find the answer to your query in the
guidance provided you can email: itsupports@inspirelondoncollege.co.uk
Study Skills
Learning at home may present you with

challenges other than just studying. You need
to consider how it will impact on your family
and your work and social life. Setting aside
10 | P a g e Version 1 @ November 2017

and planning regular time for study is very important.
The completed timetable on the next page is a guide to demonstrate to you the time you
spend involved in activity which you don’t always recognise. This is usually because we
often go from one activity to another without recognising what we are actually doing and
how much we are doing.
Try to read additional subject related articles and journal where every possible. This will
help you when you are writing assignments and increase your knowledge.
Do access the resources and informal learning activities on Moodle. They are there to
support your learning.
I f you don’t read and research you w ill find w riting your Assessm ent
Tasks m ore challenging.
Responsibility for your own learning
It is important to recognise that no amount of external support from either your

assessor or ILC’s staff can take the place of the work and time you need to put in order
to complete your course successfully. You need to recognise that you are taking on a
course of study which will require you to spend as much time as possible engaged in
actual course activity.
You will retain less information the longer you study. Find the best time and place to
use for your study. This does not have to be a large space but it should be a place
where you are not easily disturbed.
Points to remember:
 Tell the people around you when you are going to study – including children. Tell
them what time you will start and end. This will stop them interrupting you during
this period.
 Do not take phone calls (except in emergencies) during your study time.
 Try to allocate some of your study slots at the time of the day when you are most
alert.
 It is impossible to study in an environment which is very noisy and has lots of

distractions such as television.

Compliments, Comments and Complaints
Any course related queries you have should be directed to your assessor in the first
instance.
You can also contact ILC support team.
We are always happy to receive feedback from learners as this helps us to continually
develop and improve the learning experience we provide.
ILC has a Compliments, Comments and Complaints procedure.
In the unlikely event that you have a concern or a complaint about your course, please
raise this with the student support team at ILC, or via the Compliments, Comments
and Complaints procedure. Please do not raise a concern or complaint you would like
us to address via message on Moodle.
Referencing and Plagiarism
When completing course work it is important to use appropriate referencing in order to

avoid plagiarism.
Please use the Harvard system of referencing when it is necessary to reference course
work. You will find a guide on Harvard Referencing Guide on Moodle in the
introductory section for each unit.
Plagiarism Policy
Introduction
ILC has an obligation to awarding bodies, learners, members, funders and society in
general to ensure that the qualifications its learners receive are a fair and accurate
representation of their work, and of the knowledge and skills attained. Plagiarism and
other forms of cheating undermine the value and credibility of qualifications for all
concerned. If a learner passes an assessment, or gets a qualification, by unfair means
then this affects those who achieved the same qualification fairly. ILC will therefore take
appropriate measures to ensure that learners work is their own and that plagiarism has
not taken place. Where plagiarism is detected appropriate action will be taken in line with
Inspire London College procedures and awarding organization requirements.

Plagiarism relates to learners claiming work to be their own when it is not. It is
acknowledged that in practice, it can be difficult to distinguish between deliberate
plagiarism and failure to acknowledge sources appropriately.
It is important therefore to appropriately reference and acknowledge the author of

any information used from books, the internet, articles, journals etc.
Plagiarism comes in many several forms:
 Copying text from a book or any other source word for word and using it as
your own. You may legitimately use any such information providing it is
clearly acknowledged in the body of your work and appropriately referenced
in your bibliography. In this case you have recognized that the work is not
your own and plagiarism is avoided.
 Paraphrasing work – this is using words from a text to make it simpler. This
is a form of plagiarism as it simply restates the point made by the original
writer.
 Copying diagrams and charts or any such document is also plagiarism again
you must reference at the foot of the diagram or chart and acknowledge in
your bibliography.
ILC is committed to the detection of plagiarism and will take appropriate measures where
it is detected including:
 updating relevant staff on preventing, detecting and procedures

relating to plagiarism
 providing learners with information regarding the ILC plagiarism policy
 ensuring students are properly instructed in fair practice and how to

reference appropriately
 taking appropriate action where plagiarism is detected.
Please check your work Plagiarism via using online Viper Plagiarism Checker
https://www.scanmyessay.com or grammarly https://www.grammarly.com/plagiarism.
Keeping Staff Informed
Staff will be informed and supported to prevent and detect plagiarism. It is the
responsibility of
ILC:
 To make the plagiarism policy available on the staff intranet
 To ensure all tutors, assessors and internal quality assurers are provided
with a copy of the policy.
 To provide updates through the ILC online areas.
 To provide information, support and guidance on preventing plagiarism

and supporting referencing through standardisation.
It is the responsibility of ILC tutors:
 To explain what plagiarism is to learners and explain to them the ILC policy
on plagiarism and the implications if plagiarism is detected.
 To ensure learners have been made aware of the resources provided to

support them to reference correctly.
Information for Learners
ILC has produced this policy:
 To ensure that work submitted for assessment is their own.
 To ensure that the words and arguments of others are appropriately cited
and referenced.
Learners must not copy materials from written sources, from the Internet, or from any
other source whether this is through cutting and pasting, rewriting or by any other
means. Changing a few words within a copied piece of text does not render it original and
still counts as plagiarism.
It is the responsibility of ILC:
 To ensure learners have access to the plagiarism policy.
 To ensure learners have access to resources to support them to reference

sources appropriately.

Procedure to follow when plagiarism is detected
All cases of plagiarism must be reported to the Academic Department of ILC.
If evidence is discovered that a learner has copied work from elsewhere and the
plagiarism would have altered the result obtained by the learner if it had been
undetected then the assessment must be referred.
The learner will be advised by the tutor of this decision within 5 days of the decision
being made.
If it is clear that the plagiarism was minor and did not constitute intentional cheating,
then guidance and support should be provided.
In cases of plagiarism the assessor should provide feedback (in consultation with tutor)
explaining the issue and signposting to support so the learner can resubmit evidence.
The learner will be given further guidance on how to correctly reference and be given a
verbal warning.
The student support team will also write to the learner explaining why they have referred,
reinforcing the unacceptability of plagiarism, reminding the learner of appropriate
referencing practice and offering support and guidance if required.
The learner will also be redirected to the plagiarism policy given to him/her at the
beginning of the course.
If a second case of plagiarism occurs from the same learner the tutor will advise the
learning in writing that all previous work will be call back for detailed scrutiny. This will be
done by a panel to include:
 The Quality Assurance Team

 The Academic Director
 The Assessor
 A tutor
The awarding body will be informed of cases of plagiarism where appropriate.
A third case of plagiarism will result in a learner being withdrawn from the course. No
refund of course fee will be given and learner will have to complete any outstanding
payments owed to ILC.

Equal Opportunities and Diversity
1. SCOPE
This policy is provided for Inspire London customers, including learners and staff members
who are using or delivering the courses or qualifications Inspire London offer.
2. LOCATION OF THE POLICY
This policy is available for all staff members, third parties and learners to access.
3. COMMUNICATION OF THE POLICY
It is important that staff involved in the management, delivery, assessment and quality
assurance of awarding organisation’s qualifications and learners undertaking these
qualifications, are fully aware of the contents of the policy.
4. REVIEW OF THE POLICY

Inspire London College will review the policy annually and revise it as and when required
in response to customer and stakeholder feedback, changes in practices, actions required
by changes in legislation. Our review will ensure that our procedures continue to be
consistent with the regulatory criteria and are applied properly and fairly in arriving at
judgments.
5. POLICY STATEMENT
Inspire London College is committed to the principles of Equal and Diversity. Equality of
access and opportunity for all are core values of our organisation and we are committed to
raising the profile of Equality and Diversity and to being proactive in ensuring fairness to
all. The Equality Act 2010 underpins our policies.
All learners and staff are required to follow and honor the principles of Inspire London
College's Equality and Diversity Policy. We encourage everyone to play a part in promoting
our policy in the course of their learning or work.
There are no circumstances under which Inspire London College will tolerate
discrimination, harassment, bullying or victimisation from or towards any staff member or
learners.
This also includes cyber-harassment or cyber-bullying. Any issues must be reported to the
Centre Manager.
6. DISCRIMINATION
Discrimination is when people are treated less favorably than others because of a
protected characteristic they have or are thought to have. This includes discrimination on
the grounds of their gender, race, ethnic origin, religious beliefs, age, marital status, stage
of development, ability or disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment and wealth
or background.
Inspire London College is committed to providing a quality service for its learners and staff
members, working in an open and accountable way that builds the trust and respect. One
of the ways in which we can continue to improve our service is by listening and
responding to the views of our staff members, customers and learners, and in particular
by responding positively to complaints, and by putting mistakes right.
There are four types of discrimination; Direct discrimination, Discrimination by association,

Perception discrimination and Indirect discrimination.
Racial Harassment
Racial harassment is any action of a racist nature that results in people feeling
threatened or compromised. It can include:
• racial name calling
• derogatory remarks
• racist graffiti or jokes
• display or circulation of racially offensive material
• physical threats, insulting behaviour or gestures
• open hostility
• exclusion from normal conversation or social events.
Sexual harassment
Sexual harassment is unwanted conduct of a sexual nature that affects the dignity of
women and men at work, including physical, verbal or nonverbal conduct. It can be
in the form of:
• insensitive jokes or pranks
• lewd comments about appearance
• unnecessary bodily contact
• displays of explicit materials
• gestures and leering
• speculation about a person’s private or personal life
Bullying
Bullying is a form of harassment, whether by staff or other learners. Bullying is verbal,
nonverbal or physical conduct that causes individuals to feel threatened, isolated or
humiliated – and may include members of a group other than those being directly

targeted. Bullying can take many forms and can be quite difficult to detect by those not
directly involved; all learners and staff are asked to report bullying at the earliest
stages, so that it can be stopped, your confidentiality will always be respected.
The law recognises bullying as a serious issue and the protection from Equality Act
2010 makes it a criminal and civil offence to cause harassment, alarm or distress to a
person.
Victimisation
Victimisation is when a person is treated less favourably in the same circumstances
because that person has, in good faith, made a complaint or raised a grievance under the
Equality Act, or because they are suspected of doing so.
Vulnerable Adults
A vulnerable adult is a person aged 18 years or over who may be unable to take care of
themselves or protect themselves from harm or from being exploited.
Abuse can take a number of forms and cause victims to suffer pain, fear and distress.
Adults may be too afraid or embarrassed to raise any complaints. They may be reluctant
to discuss their concerns with other people or unsure who to trust with their worries.
Sometimes people can be unaware they are being abused.
Inspire London College staff have a responsibility to follow this policy and report any
suspicions that may arise
Protection of Children Policy.
The policy of safeguarding a child is to protect any person under the age of 18 years
and those whom are considered vulnerable. The Children Act 1989 provides the legal
framework for the protection of children and young People in UK. Inspire London
College is committed to the safeguarding of children and our staff have a
responsibility to follow this policy and report any suspicions that may arise. Both the
safeguarding policies above also include the protection of our staff from unfounded
allegations of abuse.
Inspire London College aim to ensure that:-
• making a complaint is as easy as possible

• we treat a complaint as a clear expression of dissatisfaction with our
service, which calls for an immediate response
• we deal with it promptly, politely and confidentially
• we respond in the right way - for example, with an explanation or apology
• we learn from complaints, use them to improve our service, and
review annually our complaints policy and procedures

We recognise that many concerns will be raised informally, and dealt with quickly. Our
aims are to:-
• resolve informal concerns quickly
• enable mediation between the complainant and the individual
to whom the complaint has been referred
An informal approach to dealing with a complaint may be appropriate; however, if
concerns cannot be satisfactorily resolved informally, then the formal complaints
procedure must be followed.
Definition: A complaint can be defined as 'any expression of dissatisfaction that relates

to Inspire London College and that requires a formal response'.
P urpose: The formal complaints procedure is intended to ensure that all complaints are
handled fairly, consistently and wherever possible resolved to the complainant's
satisfaction
Inspire London College’s responsibilities are to:
• acknowledge the formal complaint in writing

• respond within the stated period of time
• deal reasonably and sensitively with the complaint
• take action where appropriate
Confidentiality: Except in exceptional circumstances, every attempt will be made to

ensure that both the complainant and Inspire London College maintain confidentiality.
However the circumstances giving rise to the complaint may be such that it may not be
possible to maintain confidentiality (with each complaint judged on its own merit). Should
this be the case, the situation will be explained to the complainant
ILC Terms and Condition
