will achieve two globally recognised ATHE qualifications: ATHE Level 4 Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care, qual aim, 610/3300/5, 120 credits?

No. The Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management Online (RQF, 120 Credits) is a single, distinct qualification regulated by Ofqual under OTHM (Qualification Number 610/1537/4). It does not include or award the ATHE Level 4 Extended Diploma (Qualification Number 610/3300/5). These are separate entries on the Ofqual register with different credit structures and learning outcomes. While both are RQF Level 4 and 5 qualifications respectively, completing the Level 5 Diploma does not grant the Level 4 award. Learners seeking the Level 4 qualification must enrol in that specific programme separately. The Level 5 Diploma focuses on management principles, strategic leadership, and operational oversight suitable for deputy managers and team leaders. It stands alone as a 120-credit qualification designed to meet the educational requirements for senior care roles and progression to Level 6 degrees. Confusion often arises because both qualifications are delivered online and share similar sector focus, but they are not bundled. The Level 5 Diploma is the appropriate choice for those already working in senior support or team leadership roles who need a Level 5 credential for career advancement or degree top-up eligibility. It is not a combined award.
