is qualification are internally assessed by the centre and externally verified by OTHM?

Yes, the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) follows a strict two-stage quality assurance process mandated by Ofqual regulation. First, your chosen learning centre conducts internal assessment. This means your tutors or assessors review your submitted assignments against the specific unit criteria to ensure you have met the required standards. They provide feedback and confirm your grade. Second, OTHM performs external verification. A qualified external verifier samples a percentage of your centre’s graded work to audit consistency and fairness. This ensures the qualification holds its value across all providers. You do not sit exams; your progress is tracked through these verified assignments. This dual-layer check guarantees that your certificate is robust, recognised, and fully compliant with UK regulatory frameworks. It protects the integrity of the RQF Level 5 designation.
