Level 5 is undergraduate-level, equivalent to the second year of a Bachelor’s degree. The Level 5 Diploma is the standard entry route for deputy managers and team leaders seeking progression to Level 6 or a foundation degree. The Level 7 Diploma is designed for senior executives aiming for strategic leadership roles. They are not interchangeable.
