Level 7 diplomas in Business and Management
Strategy, leadership and executive management for people who already run something.
Our view
What this group covers, and what it does not
This is the largest group on the site and the one most enquiries begin with. Six diplomas from two awarding bodies cover strategic management and leadership, business strategy, innovation, executive management and ethical leadership. They overlap in places, which is deliberate: the differences lie in emphasis and unit structure rather than level. The OTHM Strategic Management and Leadership diploma is the one with optional units and the one this site leads with. The Qualifi diplomas are fixed-unit programmes, and the Ethical Leadership diploma is a 60-credit qualification, half the size of the others, aimed at people who want a focused programme rather than a full route to a master's. Use the comparison on the strategic management page, or ask us which one fits the role you hold now and the one you want next.
