What this qualification is
The Level 6 Diploma in Teaching and Learning + Level 7 Diploma in Education Management and Leadership is awarded by an Ofqual-regulated UK awarding organisation and regulated by Ofqual at RQF Level 6. The qualification totals 240 credits across structured mandatory units. Listed on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications. LEAP Education delivers this programme 100% online with tutor support.
Standard completion is 15 months; accelerated completion in 10 months is offered on this programme where shown below. Fees from £1,500. Assessment is through coursework and assignments — there is no requirement to attend a UK campus.
Designed for working professionals in the UK and overseas who need a regulated qualification recognised by employers. Progress to the next RQF level or a university top-up degree where eligible.
The global education sector is aggressively consolidating, and institutions are replacing administrative oversight with strategic leadership that directly impacts financial viability and regulatory compliance. If your resume lists teaching experience but lacks demonstrated executive governance, you remain stuck in mid-level management while peers with formal leadership credentials secure Principal and Dean positions.
Graduates of this pathway take ownership of institutional strategy, managing multi-million dollar budgets and leading cross-functional teams through complex regulatory changes. You will move beyond classroom management to design quality assurance frameworks, optimize operational efficiency, and present data-driven growth strategies to boards of trustees, positioning yourself as a C-suite candidate rather than a department head.
