Approved centre

Regulated qualifications

Ofqual-regulated diplomas from OTHM and Qualifi, studied online with LSAE as the approved centre. Recognised qualifications on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) that can open the way to a degree top-up.

What a regulated qualification is

Regulated qualifications are awarded by awarding organisations regulated by Ofqual, the qualifications regulator for England. Each has a level on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and a credit value, so employers, universities and other institutions can compare them.

LSAE is an approved centre: we teach, support and assess you; the awarding body checks our assessment and awards your qualification.

How you study

You study online with structured units, tutor guidance and written assignments. Each unit is assessed, internally verified by LSAE and externally quality assured by the awarding body.

Because these programmes carry credits, many learners progress from a Level 5 or Level 7 diploma to a degree top-up with one of our university partners.

  • Awarded by OTHM and Qualifi

    Your certificate is issued by the awarding body, not by us.

  • RQF levels and credits

    Each programme states its RQF level and credit value, for progression and recognition.

  • Pay in instalments

    Spread your fees with an instalment plan agreed when you accept your offer.
