is an approved provider of CIPD qualifications?

No. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is not a CIPD qualification. It is awarded by OTHM and regulated by Ofqual. CIPD and OTHM are separate awarding bodies with distinct qualification frameworks. This diploma focuses on health and social care management standards, not HR or CIPD syllabi. It holds qualification number 610/1537/4 on the Ofqual register. While it aids progression to Level 6 degrees, it does not grant CIPD membership or credits. Verify provider status on the Ofqual register directly. This distinction is vital for career planning. Do not confuse OTHM accreditation with CIPD approval.
