Chemistry for BeginnersDiploma Course

The Chemistry for Beginners Diploma Course begins with a light introduction to the course content, explaining the benefits of learning chemistry and how you can apply it in the real world. We’ll cover common units of measurement before exploring the heart of chemistry – matter and its different types.

We’ll discover the building blocks of our universe – atoms and ions – including structure, characteristics and how to tell them apart. You’ll also learn about molecules and compounds, namely their structures, properties and correct naming procedures.

The Chemistry for Beginners Diploma Course provides an in-depth exploration of the periodic table and its use as a teaching tool –  helping you to learn both atomic structure and classification. We’ll also look at chemical bonds, chemical reactions, the main types of reactions you’ll need to know as a beginner, how to balance equations correctly, and the basics of stoichiometry.

The course concludes with guidance on chemistry equipment, including flasks, glasses and basic personal protective equipment.
