Yes. The TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Equality and Diversity (RQF) is regulated by Ofqual and is on the Ofqual register at Level 2, qualification number 601/5319/2. It is 18 credits, 180 guided learning hours and 180 hours total qualification time. Training Qualifications UK issues the certificate, and Lift College is a TQUK recognised centre.

Most people take 3 to 6 months, studying a few hours a week. The qualification is 180 guided learning hours across three units. There is no timetable and no exam date, so you move on to the next unit as soon as your work is marked.

By a portfolio of written assignments and workbook questions, one set for each of the three units. Your named UK tutor marks your work and gives feedback, and TQUK externally quality assures it. The result is pass or fail.

No. There are no exams and no timed tests. Everything is written work that you complete online in your own time.

You need to be 14 or over, and you need to be able to read and write in English, because the course is taught and assessed in English. You do not need any previous qualification or experience to start.

You could go on to a Level 4 certificate in equality, diversity and inclusion, or apply what you have learned in a care, education or customer-facing role. If you work in care, the TQUK Level 3 Diploma in Adult Care is a natural next step. This is a knowledge qualification: it shows you understand equality and diversity, and it does not on its own make you an HR or legal adviser. Employers decide what each post needs.

Yes. Employers in care, education, retail, hospitality and public services expect staff to treat people fairly and to know what to do when they see discrimination. A regulated Level 2 certificate is clear evidence that you have studied this properly, and it is often used for induction and personal development.

The workplace unit covers how the rights of individuals are protected at work. In England, Scotland and Wales the main law on this is the Equality Act 2010, so you look at it in that unit, along with the way employers monitor equality and the policies they use.

Equality is about fairness: making sure people have the same chances and are not treated worse because of who they are. Diversity is about recognising and valuing the differences between people. The first unit of the course covers both and how they connect.

No. Short courses usually give a certificate of attendance after an hour or two. This is a TQUK certificate on the Ofqual register, 18 credits at Level 2, with every answer marked by a tutor. If you only need a quick refresher, Lift College also runs an Equality and Diversity CPD course.

The certificate is issued by TQUK and the qualification is on the Ofqual register, so an employer can check it. Many employers use it for induction or as evidence of training. Each employer decides what a post needs.
