is accredited and delivered in collaboration with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) a minimum of 44 credits?

No, this statement is factually incorrect. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is awarded by OTHM and regulated by Ofqual (qualification number 603/2181/7). It is not delivered in collaboration with the Chartered Management Institute (CMI). CMI offers its own distinct Level 7 qualifications, such as the CMI Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership, which are separate entities. While both sit at RQF Level 7, they differ in content, assessment, and awarding body. Confusing OTHM with CMI is a common error. This specific OTHM qualification focuses on strategic direction and organisational capability through 120 credits of online study, designed specifically as a pathway to an MBA top-up. It does not carry CMI accreditation or joint delivery status. Always verify the awarding body on the Ofqual register to distinguish between these distinct postgraduate-level routes.
