What are the Course Modules?

Rachel Donnelly, Course Information Editor. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) comprises ten mandatory units, each worth twelve credits, totaling the required 120 credits for the award. This structure is fixed by OTHM and regulated by Ofqual under qualification number 610/1537/4. There are no optional units; every learner completes the same ten modules to ensure consistency in management competency assessment. The units are designed to mirror the statutory duties of a deputy manager or senior support worker in the UK sector. Assessment is purely assignment-based, meaning you produce written submissions that demonstrate your understanding of legislation, leadership theories, and operational procedures. There are no exams. The module list below reflects the current unit specification. We present these not as abstract topics, but as the specific deliverables you will produce. This clarity helps you verify that the content matches the skills you need for your current role or your next promotion. The standard online route allows twelve months to complete these ten units. You may submit assignments as you finish them, provided you meet the twelve-month deadline. This flexibility supports working professionals who manage shift patterns and care responsibilities alongside their study. We do not offer a blended or campus-based route on this site. The standard online route is the only option available here. If you require a faster completion time, our sister site caremanagerdiploma.co.uk offers an eight-month fast-track option
