Qualifications Frameworks and Credit Transfer

Qualifications at this level recognise the ability to increase the depth of knowledge and understanding of an area of work or study to enable the formulation of solutions and responses to complex problems and situations. Learning at this level involves the demonstration of high levels of knowledge, a high level of work expertise in job roles, and competence in managing and training others. Qualifications at this level are appropriate for people working as higher-grade technicians, professionals or managers. Qualifications at this level are equivalent to intermediate Higher Education qualifications such as Diplomas of Higher Education, Foundation and other degrees that do not typically provide access to postgraduate programmes.

In addition, this qualification has been credit-rated by the Open University (OU) and has been awarded 60 CATS (Credit Accumulation and Transfer System) points at Intermediate level 2. This means that OU, and many other academic institutions in the UK, will recognise your achievement within this qualification towards a Higher Education qualification. The qualification you will achieve if you are successful is the Level 5 Diploma in Management.
