are a recognised Awarding Body by?

Rachel Donnelly, Course Information Editor The Level 5. Is OTHM a recognised awarding body? OTHM Qualifications is a UK-based awarding organisation regulated by Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation. This means the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is listed on the Ofqual register under qualification number 610/1537/4. Recognition here refers to regulatory compliance and quality assurance, not university status. The qualification is widely accepted by UK employers in health and social care and by many universities for progression to Level 6 top-up degrees. It is not a degree itself but a vocational qualification that meets RQF Level 5 standards. Learners should verify specific university entry requirements before applying for progression, as acceptance varies by institution.
