is a legal requirement that you have insurance?

No, there is no legal requirement for students undertaking the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Diploma to hold personal insurance. As a distance learning qualification regulated by Ofqual and accredited by OTHM, the programme involves academic study and written assignments rather than clinical practice, fieldwork or regulated professional activity that mandates statutory coverage. Unlike health and social care roles requiring public liability or professional indemnity, this master’s-level course focuses on strategic direction, organisational capability and governance. Therefore, you are not legally obligated to secure insurance to enrol or complete your 120 credits. However, standard professional advice suggests maintaining personal contents insurance for your study equipment, as you remain responsible for your own learning resources in this online format.
