is a one-year full-time programme?

No, the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is not a full-time programme. It is designed specifically as a part-time, distance learning qualification for working professionals. The standard route spans twelve months, allowing you to balance study with your current role as a deputy manager or team leader. You will not attend lectures or sit exams. Instead, you complete twelve units through written assignments submitted online. This structure ensures you can apply learning directly to your workplace without disrupting your employment. The flexible, assignment-based approach means you manage your own schedule within the twelve-month window, making it accessible for those employed full-time in health and social care settings across the UK and globally.
