will achieve the EBMA Level 6 Graduate Diploma in Health and Social Care Management (120 credits)?

No, the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) does not automatically grant the EBMA Level 6 Graduate Diploma. The EBMA qualification is a distinct Level 6 award regulated by Ofqual. However, the OTHM Level 5 Diploma is widely accepted by UK higher education institutions as meeting the entry requirements for Level 6 top-up degrees or the EBMA Level 6 programme. You must apply separately to the EBMA or your chosen university, submitting your OTHM transcript and portfolio for academic credit recognition. This progression route allows you to bridge from Level 5 management practice to Level 6 strategic leadership, but it requires a separate application and fee payment to the awarding body offering the Level 6 qualification.
