are Management The OTHM Level 4 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management qualification consists of 6 mandatory units, 120 credits, 1200 hours Total Qualification Time (TQT)?

No. The OTHM Level 4 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management consists of 6 mandatory units and carries 120 credits, but the Total Qualification Time (TQT) is 600 hours, not 1200. The 1200-hour TQT figure applies to the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits), which is the distinct, higher-level qualification regulated by Ofqual. Each credit in the RQF framework represents 10 hours of learning, so 120 credits equal 1200 hours for Level 5. Level 4 also has 120 credits but a lower TQT of 600 hours due to different complexity and depth requirements. Confusing these two levels is common, but they are separate qualifications with different entry requirements, unit specifications, and progression outcomes. Always verify the specific level and its corresponding TQT on the Ofqual register.
