are Management is a comprehensive, two-year, regulated qualification?

No, the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is not a two-year qualification. It is a regulated award on the Ofqual register, designed to be completed within a twelve-month standard online route. The qualification carries 120 credits at RQF Level 5, which aligns with the second year of a bachelor’s degree or a foundation degree, but it is not a two-year programme itself. Learners submit written assignments without exams. The structure allows for flexible study while working. This route is distinct from undergraduate degrees that span three years. The OTHM accreditation ensures recognition for progression to Level 6 top-up degrees. The focus remains on management competencies rather than academic theory over two years.
