Course decision guide
Is this the right route for you?
Use these fit questions alongside the qualification facts. Final entry and recognition decisions remain with the relevant provider or receiving organisation.
This route may suit you if
Learners who want broad Level 4 IT foundations before specialising in web design, content management and digital presentation.
People interested in the relationship between systems, users, content and web delivery rather than infrastructure alone.
Learners prepared to develop a practical body of work separately from the written qualification assessment.
Compare another route first if
Your priority is network design and administration or advanced cyber-security study.
You want a short design bootcamp centred on portfolio production rather than two regulated academic diplomas.

Questions before enrolment
Frequently asked questions
Open each question to review the controlled answer. Ask RSG to confirm provider terms that may have changed.
Is this one extended diploma?
The current evidence supports two separate Qualifi diplomas offered together as a study package. We will only use an extended-diploma title if the provider confirms that exact award.
Will I become a web designer after completing the course?
The course develops relevant IT and web-design knowledge, but it does not guarantee employment. Employers assess skills, experience, portfolio and role requirements.
Can I pay monthly?
The current public OBS terms show a £20 deposit followed by 24 monthly payments. The deposit is included in the displayed total.
What happens if I cancel, withdraw or request a refund?
Online Business School's current cancellation, withdrawal and refund terms apply. Ready Study Global does not set or administer the provider's refund decisions. Ask us for the current OBS terms before enrolment or payment.
How is Web Design different from IT and E-Commerce?
Web Design focuses more on web presentation, content and user-facing delivery. E-Commerce focuses more on the systems and operations that support digital buying, selling and commercial transactions.
