OTHM Qualifications

UK-regulated diplomas and certificates delivered at ICST University Park, from foundation entry through to postgraduate level, with progression routes into university degrees.

Recognised qualifications, built for progression

OTHM Qualifications is a UK awarding organisation regulated by Ofqual. Its diplomas sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework, which means each level maps to a recognised stage of UK higher education and carries credit that universities understand.

At ICST University Park, OTHM programmes give students a flexible entry point. A learner can begin at foundation level with no prior higher education, move up through the levels, and use a Level 6 diploma to enter the final year of a bachelor's degree, or a Level 7 diploma to progress onto a master's.

Programmes are delivered by academic staff with industry backgrounds and can be studied on campus or through a hybrid format, with assessment based on coursework and assignments rather than examinations.
