Yes. The diplomas on this page are awarded by OTHM and QUALIFI, awarding organisations regulated by Ofqual, and sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF).

Start from the highest qualification you already hold and the role you are aiming for. As a guide, Level 3 is the same level as A levels, Level 5 the same level as a foundation degree or HND, and Level 7 the same level as a master's degree.

Yes. You study online at your own pace, and almost all of these diplomas are assessed through written assignments, with no exams to sit. The assessment method for each course is shown on its course page.
It depends on the level and on how much time you can give each week. Each course page shows a typical duration; most learners study alongside work and family.
Monthly plans start from £48 a month, spread over 2 to 9 months, with no interest. You can also pay in full. The full price and every payment option are shown on each course page before you enrol.
Many UK universities accept regulated Level 5 diplomas for entry to the final year of a related bachelor's degree (a "top-up"), and Level 7 diplomas for routes towards a master's. Each university sets its own entry criteria, so check with the university you have in mind.
Our courses are studied online, so you can study from outside the UK. Check the entry requirements on the course page, or ask our admissions team to confirm your eligibility before you enrol.
