is a professional qualification specifically designed for senior managers and directors?

No, it is not exclusively for senior managers or directors. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) targets mid-to-senior professionals, including aspiring leaders and career changers, who require master’s-level strategic competence. While the curriculum addresses complex organisational capability and governance, entry relies on prior experience or qualifications, not current job titles. It serves managers seeking to bridge the gap between operational execution and strategic direction. This OTHM Level 7 qualification, regulated by Ofqual, provides the academic rigour necessary for MBA top-up progression, making it accessible to a broader cohort of working professionals aiming to enhance their strategic impact without holding a directorate role.
