is unit is assessed through evidence that demonstrates achievement of the published CMI learning outcomes and assessment criteria?

No. The Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is an OTHM-awarded qualification regulated by Ofqual, not a Chartered Management Institute (CMI) qualification. Consequently, its units are assessed against OTHM’s specific learning outcomes and assessment criteria, which are mapped to the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) Level 7. While the strategic management content overlaps significantly with CMI Level 7 standards, the assessment evidence is submitted to OTHM-accredited centres for marking against OTHM briefs. Learners seeking CMI certification must enrol in a distinct CMI programme. This distinction is critical for understanding governance, assessment style and the specific evidence required for your MBA top-up progression.
