Rhodec Clocks up World Firsts (Continued from page 1)

A DipHE is the official equivalent in the UK to the first two years of a three year degree course, and the holders are likely to be able to transfer this qualification to other universitites either in the UK or worldwide. Indeed, suitable candidates who have successfully completed the Rhodec/LGU DipHE will also have the opportunity to attend the third and final year of the LGU BA(Hons) Interior Design and Technology course in London rather than studying the extra BA element by distance learning.

Copies of the Admissions Handbook (which explains who qualifies for entry and who doesn't), the DipHE Handbook and all five BA Handbooks are available in Microsoft Word format for free download from our website page: www.rhodec.com/bachelor.htm. Printed versions are available direct from Rhodec.

Accreditation and Recognition

In June 1998, in addition to our re-accreditation by the ODL QC we received confirmation of our accreditation for a five year term in the U.S. by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC), which is listed by the U.S. Department of Education as a nationally recognised member of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation. Rhodec is the only specialist interior design distance learning college in the world to enjoy such accreditation.

In August 1999 our introductory Associate Diploma Course was accredited by the National Open College Network (NOCN), one of the largest awarding bodies in the UK. The course earns the successful student 12 Credits at NOCN Level 2 (the highest in the NOCN system being Level 3). Level 3 is equivalent to Advanced Level Standard, while Level 2 is considered a higher level than a City & Guilds Certificate in Interior Design. Again, no other specialist interior design distance learning college carries such accreditation.
