is approved and regulated by Ofqual?

Yes, the qualification is regulated by Ofqual, the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation, which is the UK government’s independent regulator for qualifications in England. The specific qualification number is 603/2181/7, verifiable on the Ofqual national qualifications database. This regulation ensures the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) meets strict quality standards equivalent to master’s level study on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). While OTHM Global issues the diploma, Ofqual’s oversight guarantees its academic rigour and recognition by UK universities for MBA top-up progression. This distinction separates it from unregulated certificates, providing employers and institutions with confidence in the strategic management and leadership competencies assessed.
