What type of qualification will I receive upon completing the?

Upon completion, you receive the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership and Management from OTHM, a UK awarding body regulated by Ofqual. This is a standalone vocational qualification, not a university degree. It sits at RQF Level 7, equivalent to master’s level study. The certificate confirms you have achieved 120 credits through assessed assignments. Crucially, this diploma serves as a bridge; it does not grant an MBA itself but provides the academic credits required for an MBA top-up at partner universities. You hold a regulated, industry-recognised credential that validates strategic capability and governance knowledge, distinct from a traditional academic master’s, yet fully aligned with UK higher education standards for progression.
