are Qualifications Each level consists of 120 credits?

No. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is a single qualification worth 120 credits, not a series of levels where each level equals 120 credits. In the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), credit values are specific to individual awards. This diploma sits at Level 5 and carries a total of 120 credits. By contrast, a full bachelor’s degree typically requires 360 credits across Levels 4 and 5. The 120-credit value here represents the total workload for this specific diploma. It is designed to be equivalent to the second year of a bachelor’s degree, allowing progression to Level 6 top-up degrees. Do not confuse the total credit count of this diploma with the credit requirements of other qualification levels.
