Frequently asked questions
Open each question to review the controlled answer. Ask RSG to confirm provider terms that may have changed.
Is this a Human Resources qualification?
It covers people, leadership and organisational topics, but the regulated title is People and Organisations. It should not be presented as a professional HR qualification.
Does it guarantee entry to university?
No. Learners may apply for suitable further-study routes, but each institution decides admission and recognition.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. OBS offers instalment payments, with the exact schedule confirmed 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.
Should I choose People and Organisations or Business Management at Level 3?
Choose People and Organisations for culture, HR, teams and leadership. Choose Business Management for a larger and broader route including operations, customer service, finance and marketing.
