are Management (OTHM) ; Level: Level 5: Same level as a foundation degree, HND or DipHE ; Duration: 5–8 months: At your own?

The premise that this qualification takes five to eight months is inaccurate for the standard online route we offer. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is a regulated OTHM award requiring twelve months of study. While the qualification sits at RQF Level 5, equivalent to a foundation degree or HND, the duration is fixed at twelve months for our standard distance learning path. We do not offer a five-to-eight-month track on this site. Learners seeking a faster eight-month completion should visit our sister site, caremanagerdiploma.co.uk. Here, we maintain a twelve-month calendar to ensure thorough engagement with the twelve units and assignment-based assessments, supporting working professionals who need a manageable, predictable schedule without exam pressure.
