are Management - LCPS The stage 2 is delivered via distance learning from the partner university?

No. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is a standalone qualification awarded by OTHM, regulated by Ofqual. It is not part of a university degree programme, nor does it involve a partner university for delivery or assessment. The entire course is delivered via distance learning through OTHM-approved learning partners. Assessment is strictly assignment-based, with no exams. While this diploma provides the academic credits required for progression to the final year of a Bachelor’s degree (Level 6) at various UK universities, the Level 5 qualification itself is independent. You do not study with a university during this stage. The "LCPS" reference likely pertains to a specific university’s internal module code or a different qualification entirely, which is not applicable to this OTHM award. The regulated title remains distinct from any university degree.
