I think someone has the impression that the HCC course is all you need. Apologies if that's not the case.

The HCC course provides you with the theory to do the exams. HCC and ABC are not affiliated and you have to arrange the exams through a local college. It's certainly a good way of doing it if you can handle not having many people to tap up for info, but completing the HCC course doesn't get you the ABC theory nor the RFS cert.

I was told this has since changed and the theory side is now portfolio based? I'm going to see exactly what's what, though and get 100% clarification

 

 

it may well be.but I'm.fairly certain that hcc's course doesn't fulfill the criteria.

Surely there must be a more organised examination though ? I don't mind studying paying and doing exams,

Not an issue at all, just seems nobody says whether this is all worth it in the end

So have we got a definitive answer on this yet?

 

Does the HCC course get you the theory side of the RFS Cert (I know there are practical units to do before you get the full RFS Cert).

 

I started the RFS Cert through Myerscough online last September but had to pull out in March this year due to personal problems. I had totally underestimated how much time was needed to fullfill the criteria for each module. Im looking at the HCC one as you have 2 years to complete it rather than the 1 year with Myerscough.

Yes the hcc is portfolio based, and is the theory side, its in depth all right way more than I thought but like everything in life you get out what you put in, it does seem relaxed as in go at your own pace
