is a UK-based awarding organisation regulated by Ofqual, recognised by Qualifications Wales?

No. OTHM Qualifications is regulated by Ofqual for England and Wales, but it is not recognised by Qualifications Wales. Qualifications Wales regulates qualifications specifically developed for the Welsh curriculum, whereas OTHM operates under the UK’s broader regulatory framework. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) holds Ofqual regulation, meaning it meets national standards for quality and integrity. This Ofqual recognition ensures the qualification is comparable to master’s level study across the UK. While it is not a Qualifications Wales regulated award, its Ofqual status provides robust credibility for UK and international learners, facilitating progression to MBA top-ups at partner universities. Always verify specific university entry requirements, as some may prefer or require specific regulatory endorsements depending on their location and internal policies.
