will continue to be funded through to completion?

No, the Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Management and Leadership Online – MBA Top-Up Route (120 Credits) is not funded by any government or public body. As an Ofqual-regulated qualification (603/2181/7) delivered by private training providers, learners are responsible for the full tuition fee. There are no student loans, bursaries, or state subsidies available for this specific OTHM award. Employers may offer sponsorship or professional development budgets, but this is discretionary and contract-specific. You must confirm funding arrangements directly with your organisation’s HR department. The qualification operates on a direct-pay model, often with instalment plans to manage cash flow. Do not assume external financial support exists; treat the fee as a personal or corporate investment in strategic capability and organisational governance.
