are required to complete at least one unit, equivalent to a minimum of 18 guided learning hours, covering core leadership skills?
No. The OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership does not mandate a standalone unit solely dedicated to core leadership skills with a specific 18-hour guided learning requirement. Instead, leadership competencies are integrated across all six mandatory units, totaling 120 credits. Learners demonstrate strategic leadership through applied assessments such as business plans and critical analyses, rather than completing a discrete introductory module. This structure ensures leadership is contextualised within strategic management, organisational capability, and governance, aligning with master’s-level expectations for senior professionals.
