Questions before enrolment

Frequently asked questions

Open each question to review the controlled answer. Ask RSG to confirm provider terms that may have changed.

Is this one Human Resource Management extended diploma?

Not on the evidence currently held. The package combines a Level 4 Human Resource Management route with a separate OTHM Level 5 Business Management diploma. OBS must confirm the exact Level 4 certificate.

Is CIPD membership included?

RSG is not currently advertising CIPD membership for this package because the exact eligibility, duration, cost and redemption terms have not been confirmed for this course.

Can I pay in instalments?

Yes. The current payment structure offers a £20 deposit followed by 24 monthly payments. The deposit is included in the full price.

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.
