Qualifi is an Ofqual-regulated awarding organisation that offers health and social care management diplomas from Level 3 through to Level 8. The practical implication: you can climb an RQF ladder with the same fee structure at healthsocial.care whether you start at Level 3 or aim at strategic Level 8 later.
Confirm Qualifi on the Ofqual register and via Qualifi. Study routes at healthsocial.care include Level 3 through Level 7 management pathways; enquire about Level 8 availability at enrolment.
