This phrasing is inaccurate for the OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership. The qualification is not designed as a focused, specialist course linked to specific professional body requirements. Instead, it is a broad, master’s-level programme regulated by Ofqual (qualification number 603/2181/7) that develops strategic direction, organisational capability and governance skills. It prepares learners for the MBA top-up route by covering general strategic management principles rather than niche professional competencies. The curriculum emphasises evidence-based decision-making and stakeholder mapping for senior roles, ensuring graduates meet the academic standards required for university postgraduate progression without tying content to external professional body mandates.
