Whether you’re prepared or not, the potential for an apocalyptic event is fact. This qualification is designed to give you the tools and strategies for survival and self-sufficiency in a minor or major event.

manage between 4-6 hours a week of study to comfortably finish this within the given
time frame.

tutors, undertaking research and watching videos. Each lesson culminates in an
assignment which is submitted to the school, marked by the school's tutors and
returned to you with any relevant suggestions, comments, and if necessary, extra
reading.

Studies prove, time and again, that college-educated workers earn more than those with only a high school qualification. College graduates often enjoy additional benefits, including greater job opportunities and promotions. Though the proof for greater earning potential exists, some might wonder whether the cost of the education warrants the overall expense in the long run.
College Graduate vs. Non-Graduate Earnings
The National Centre for Education Statistics (NCES) analyses employee earnings data biennially, according to education level. Findings indicate that workers with a qualification earn significantly more than those without. Since the mid-1980s, education has played a large part in potential wages, with bachelor's degree holders taking home an average of 66% more than those with only a high school diploma do. While college-educated workers' wages have increased over the past two decades, those with only a high school education have seen decreases in annual salaries in the same time period (nces.ed.gov).
