are (CPD) To achieve a Diploma in Health & Social Care learners must have to achieve a minimum of 11 units with 110 Credits?

No. The Care Manager Diploma – Fast Track Level 5 Health and Social Care Management (8 Months) is an OfQual regulated qualification, not a CPD certificate. It requires completion of 10 units totalling 120 credits, not 11 units with 110 credits. The specific qualification number is 610/1537/4. While some providers offer unregulated CPD courses with varying credit structures, this diploma follows the strict RQF framework. You must submit written assignments for each unit to demonstrate competence in management skills like safeguarding and financial oversight. There are no exams. This distinction is vital for your CV and CQC registration, as employers and inspectors recognise the regulated status and credit value. Ensure your provider confirms the 120-credit, 10-unit structure to guarantee the qualification meets the Registered Manager requirements for UK adult social care roles.
