is a detailed syllabus, which tells you what you need to learn?

No, a detailed syllabus does not exist for this qualification. As an Ofqual-regulated award, the OTHM Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership provides a unit specification rather than a prescriptive syllabus. This specification outlines learning outcomes and assessment criteria, leaving the specific content and resources to the accredited learning provider. You will not receive a rigid list of topics to memorise. Instead, you are assessed on your ability to apply strategic concepts to real-world organisational challenges. The focus is on demonstrating competence in areas such as strategic direction, governance, and stakeholder mapping through written assignments. This approach ensures flexibility for working managers, allowing you to tailor your evidence to your current role while meeting the rigorous standards required for the MBA top-up route.
