I went crazy and bought 5 - Level 7 Diploma's...

[bjcheung77]

Hmm, which to start first?  These would ladder up to a Masters if I would like to go further...  I am leaning towards the Strategic Management & Leadership as they compliment the ENEB ones I have.  But I want to start on the Accounting & Finance as I am wanting to brush up on that...  Hopefully it does ladder up properly, as per my previous post https://www.degreeforum.net/mybb/Thread-...rings-Grad

You did go crazy…crazy awesome.

Firstly, I was a bit concerned about the legitimacy of these credentials. I am sure others will be as well. From what I can tell, they seem totally legit (link below).

Secondly, I think the smart play is probably to save the Management and Accounting for last, simply because they do duplicate/build up what you already have on your resume.

What is the link to the 'Health and Social Care Management' , I'm not getting anything when I search.

In the UK, there are many private institutions providing "self paced" accredited (ATHE, BTC, LRN, OTHM, , etc...) Level 7/8 Diplomas and 'top up' options found, leading up to the DBA level.  Some of these course providers target international students and that may be their main focus, a few even opened shop in those respective countries.  These agencies are corporate entities authorized to teach the first portion of a two part degree (they don't have degree granting rights), the second part must be completed at an university offering "top up" options.

BTW - This website is slow, it lags big time, I think their site is either not optimized or their internet provider has issues.

The reason I am getting these Level 7 Diploma is because they are in Business Admin, but in a different concentration.  In case I go into different fields of management, I would like to have a diverse portfolio, so instead of just Business/Education/IT, I can jump into "other" verticals.  Further to this, I am one who likes learning, not necessarily for the diploma, it's just a good way to track my progress and reference later.  Last but not least, these Level 7 options are mainly assessments/writing, there are no exams.  I get to brush up and enhance my writing skills for different types of content communication...

bjcheung77, it has been three years since you purchase those OfQual OTHM Level 7 diploma. I am considering the same thing. How is your overall experience with the study? Are they difficult? Did you learn a lot in the study?

[questionquestions]

Did you post an update about these courses anywhere?

Basically... They're very similar to ENEB, it's all writing assignments, nothing else... Most of the material taught was repetitive as it's all business, management, strategy, etc, but was in different fields, so you'll get some slightly different/newer materials. You can decide the time frame to get a discount for these Level 7 options.

Did you post an update about these courses anywhere?

No I did not and do not plan on writing anything extensive, I've mentioned in a few posts regarding UK Level studies, no exams, they're just all writing assignments... My main reason to get them was to practice my writing and retaining previous info, if I learned something new in the process, that was the cherry on top.

It bothers me that the title was that you bought diplomas and not that you enrolled in the programs, but I guess that is just pedantic.

Technically, yeah, you purchase the program and complete the classes written assignments, that's all it is for most educational programs...

so you're too cheap to buy 7 level 5 diplomas ?
