are accredited by the UK qualifications regulator Ofqual?

No, the awarding body OTHM is not accredited by Ofqual. OTHM is a UK awarding organisation that is regulated by Ofqual. This distinction is crucial for understanding the qualification's standing. Ofqual regulates the standards and quality assurance of the qualification framework, ensuring that the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) meets the required credit value and learning outcomes for Level 5 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. The qualification itself, number 610/1537/4, is listed on the Ofqual register. This means the diploma is a recognised, regulated UK qualification, but the accreditation applies to the qualification’s place within the national framework, not to the awarding body as an educational institution in the same way a university might be chartered. Learners should verify the qualification number on the Ofqual website to confirm its current regulatory status.
