is 10 hours of notional learning time?

No. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) carries a total notional learning time of 600 hours, not 10. Each credit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework represents approximately five hours of guided and independent study. With 120 credits, the full qualification requires 600 hours of engagement over the standard 12-month period. Ten hours is insufficient for any single unit, let alone the entire diploma. This figure likely stems from a misunderstanding of short CPD certificates or webinar durations. For this regulated OTHM award, you must commit to the full 600-hour workload to meet the unit specifications and assessment criteria set by Ofqual.
