# NOG 25. Instructional courses

#### Principle

Instructional course advertisements must neither mislead the audience nor exploit the susceptibilities or credulity of those seeking work.

#### Definition

Instructional courses are training or educational opportunities that typically offer instruction in a trade.

**25.1** Advertisements offering a qualification, a course of instruction in a skill or a course that leads to a professional or technical examination must not exaggerate the resulting opportunities for work or remuneration.

**25.2** Advertisements for a correspondence school or college maybe broadcast only if the advertiser has given the broadcaster evidence of suitable and relevant credentials: for example, affiliation to a body that has systems for dealing with complaints and for taking disciplinary action; systems in place for regular review of members’ skills and competencies and registration based on minimum standards for training and qualifications.
