No. The Care Manager Diploma – Fast Track Level 5 Health and Social Care Management (8 Months) is a standalone vocational qualification, not a university degree. It is OTHM accredited and OfQual regulated (qualification number 610/1537/4), designed specifically to prepare you for a registered manager role. While it provides the Level 5 credits often required for degree top-up programmes, this course itself does not confer a bachelor’s degree. You can use these 120 credits to apply for the final year of a degree at a partnered university, but that is a separate academic step. This diploma focuses on practical management skills like CQC readiness, safeguarding leadership, and rota management, rather than academic theory. It is a career-first qualification for deputy managers and senior carers aiming to step up into leadership roles in UK adult social care.
