Globally Recognised Qualification

OTHM Qualifications are globally recognised and regulated in the UK by the The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (OfQual). Many Universities around the world recognise the OTHM diplomas to be equivalent to undergraduate study at University and many employers around the world also recognise the qualifications.

Affordable Pathway to a University degree

Our diploma programmes offer affordable pathways to universities around the world as students are able to start their study journey with us at much more affordable fees and then progress to universities to complete their studies. Students will typically complete our Level 4 to 6 programmes and only spend a year obtaining a degree at a partner university.

Flexible and fast track learning pathway

Our diploma programmes offer significant flexibility due to our flexible online learning as well as flexible completion times. Students are able to study extended diploma programmes which compress two years of study into one year therefore meaning they could progress to complete their studies at a partner university much quicker than studying directly at university.

Innovative and technology driven learning

The delivery of our diploma programs uses a mix of modern pedagogy and advanced technologies. We use our proprietary PLAY© Microlearning which makes learning fun and impactful at degree level. We also use innovative AI technologies to create personalised experiences for our students, preparing them for the future or learning and work.

How we work

Increased Engagement - Using bite sized study materials, students are able to engage with their study content without getting fatigued thus enabling significantly more engagement when compared to traditional lectures.

Personalised Learning - Microlearning allows students to determine the pace of their study and encourages a more personalised learning journey.

Flexibility and convenience - Microlearning enables fitting the bite sized study materials around students' busy schedules thereby providing flexibility and convenience.

Enhanced Retention and Comprehension - Studying in short engaging bursts has been proven to enhance retention and comprehension as information is more easily absorbed.
