What this qualification is
The Qualifi Level 7 Diploma in Accounting and Finance is awarded by Qualifi and regulated by Ofqual at RQF Level 7. The qualification totals 120 credits across 6 mandatory units. Listed on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications. LEAP Education delivers this programme 100% online with tutor support.
Standard completion is 9 months; accelerated completion in 6 months is offered on this programme where shown below. Fees from £950. 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 difference between a senior accountant and a Finance Director is often not technical skill, but the specific postgraduate credential that satisfies corporate governance boards. Multinational hiring committees use Level 7 qualifications as a mandatory filter to separate operational managers from strategic leaders who can be trusted with enterprise-wide financial risk.
You gain the authority to command full P&L responsibility and lead complex financial restructuring projects. This credential allows you to present strategic forecasts to executive boards with the academic backing required to secure budget approvals and drive capital investment decisions across international markets.
