are Management Awarding Body: OTHM 10–12 Months Min?

No. The Care Manager Diploma – Fast Track Level 5 Health and Social Care Management (8 Months) is an OTHM accredited qualification, but the fast-track route is specifically designed to be completed in 8 months, not 10–12. While the standard, part-time route for this regulated qualification often takes 9–12 months, the fast-track option accelerates this timeline for working professionals who can dedicate more study hours per week. The 10–12 month duration typically applies to the standard study path, not the fast-track version we promote. You can complete the full 120-credit Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management in just 8 months by following our structured, intensive schedule. This allows deputy managers and senior carers to qualify for registered manager roles faster, without compromising on the depth of learning required for CQC readiness. The OTHM awarding body recognises both routes, but the fast-track is distinct in its pace and support structure, tailored for those ready to step up immediately.
