are awarded a CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership?

No. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is not awarded as a CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership. These are distinct qualifications regulated under different frameworks and awarding bodies. The OTHM Level 5 sits at RQF Level 5, equivalent to the second year of a UK bachelor’s degree. CMI Level 7 is a postgraduate-level qualification, equivalent to a master’s degree, focusing on strategic leadership. While the OTHM Level 5 provides a foundation for progression to Level 6 and potentially Level 7 later, it does not confer CMI accreditation or Level 7 status. Learners seeking CMI credentials must enrol in specific CMI-accredited programmes separately.
