Course decision guide
Is this the right route for you?
Use these fit questions alongside the qualification facts. Final entry and recognition decisions remain with the relevant provider or receiving organisation.

Learners with suitable Level 5 study who want to move into leadership, operations, finance, sustainability and strategic HR.
People who want a single 120-credit OTHM Level 6 diploma assessed through a research project and written assignments.
Learners considering Level 7 or university progression while accepting that admission and credit remain institution decisions.

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 diploma the same as a bachelor’s degree?
No. It is a 120-credit regulated diploma at RQF Level 6. It is studied at the same framework level as bachelor’s-degree study, but it is not a complete bachelor’s degree.
What is the current course price?
The provider cost section states £2,900 with a £20 deposit and 24 monthly payments of £120, while the listing headline currently states £3,500 excluding VAT. RSG must confirm the correct VAT-inclusive payable total before enrolment.
Does this guarantee entry to postgraduate study?
No. The qualification can support applications for relevant further study, but each institution makes its own admission and recognition decision.
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.
Do I need Level 4 and Level 5 before choosing this Level 6 course?
You need suitable prior Level 5 study or another route accepted by the provider. If you do not yet have that preparation, the Business Management Level 4 and Level 5 package is the more appropriate comparison.
