Frequently asked questions
Read the main details about fees, study, assessment and progression.
Is the course worth 60 or 120 credits?
The regulated OTHM qualification is worth 60 credits. Earlier concerns that it should be 120 credits were incorrect.
Are professional memberships included?
RSG is not advertising a professional membership for this course because no course-specific membership entitlement has been verified.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. OBS offers instalment payments, but RSG will confirm the current deposit, monthly payment and total before enrolment.
What happens if I cancel, withdraw or request a refund?
Online Business School's current cancellation, withdrawal and refund terms apply. Ready Study Global does not set or administer the provider's refund decisions. Ask us for the current OBS terms before enrolment or payment.
How is Employability and Workplace Skills different from People and Organisations?
Employability focuses on career planning, personal performance and general workplace capability. People and Organisations focuses more on culture, human resources, teams and leadership inside organisations.
