is 120 credits course, you can pursue a wide range of senior management positions?

No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is a postgraduate qualification equivalent to the final year of a master’s degree, not a full MBA. While it develops strategic direction, governance, and organisational capability, it does not automatically qualify you for senior management positions without prior experience. It serves as a rigorous academic bridge, allowing you to complete an MBA top-up at a partner university. Employers value the OTHM Level 7 for its focus on risk appetite and stakeholder mapping, but career progression depends on your existing track record. This 120-credit course enhances your strategic toolkit, supporting moves into roles like Operations Director or Strategy Manager, provided you already hold relevant mid-level leadership experience. It is an accelerator, not a standalone entry ticket to the C-suite.
