What qualification will I get?

You will receive the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits). This is a distinct, Ofqual-regulated qualification awarded by OTHM. It sits at Level 5 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework, equivalent to the second year of a UK bachelor’s degree or a Foundation Degree. The certificate confirms you have completed 120 credits across mandatory and optional units, assessed entirely through written assignments. This qualification is recognised by UK employers and higher education institutions for progression to Level 6 top-up degrees. It is not a university degree itself, but a standalone vocational diploma that meets the academic entry requirements for many BA (Hons) Health and Social Care Management programmes. The document you receive will list your achieved units and confirm the 120-credit total.
