The OTHM Level 5 Extended Diploma in Health and Social Care Management, offered at Britain International Academy, is designed to prepare learners for leadership roles within the health and social care sector. This qualification equips students with the essential knowledge, practical skills, and professional insight needed to succeed in managerial positions or pursue further academic study. Learners are encouraged to demonstrate their competencies through real-world training activities and work-based evidence. The program spans two academic years and includes both Level 4 and Level 5 units, with each year comprising 120 credits—totalling 240 credits overall.
In Year 1 (Level 4), learners build a strong foundation in contemporary health and social care topics. The curriculum blends theoretical understanding with practical application. Year 2 (Level 5) allows learners to deepen their expertise and apply their knowledge to specialised areas of practice. The curriculum is designed to enhance learners’ ability to lead, manage, and innovate within care environments.
Upon successful completion, graduates will possess industry-specific skills and practical capabilities that enable them to make meaningful contributions in the workplace. The qualification also provides a pathway to further study, including progression to the OTHM Level 6 Diploma or direct entry into the final year of a UK Bachelor’s degree.
