Each Unit at level 2 or 3 is broken down into four Topics. Within each Topic are a number of 'Elements' and the course notes cover all the subjects listed for each element by the syllabus, with links to further resources. Additional background material is included as well as a discussion of how each element links to the rest of the syllabus and the Qualification-Wide Outcomes. Each topic has a test paper and past exam questions are used for practice as they are made available.

RHS practical qualifications each have a detailed syllabus of background knowledge which supports the practical techniques covered. Course materials cover the knowledge element of each of the eight Topics as well as demonstrating practical tasks on video and in presentations.
