Common questions
What are Ofqual-regulated qualifications?
They are qualifications awarded by organisations recognised and regulated by Ofqual, the qualifications regulator in England. Each one is listed on the Ofqual Register with its level and credit value, so employers and universities can check it.
How do I choose the right career path and level?
Pick the sector you work in or want to move into, then choose a level that matches your experience. Level 3 suits beginners, Levels 4 and 5 match the first two years of a degree, Level 6 is bachelor's level and Level 7 is master's level. Our advisers can recommend a level within 24 hours.
Can a diploma lead to a UK degree?
Some Level 4 and 5 diplomas can support progression to a degree or top-up where the receiving university accepts your prior learning — this is not automatic. Level 7 diplomas may support MBA or master's routes where eligible. Check the target programme and your offer letter.
Are all qualifications studied online?
Learning and tutor support are online for programmes listed on LEAP. Occupational qualifications (for example some health, social care and early years routes) may require workplace evidence or observation — see each awarding-body specification.
Which awarding bodies do LEAP qualifications come from?
Diplomas are awarded by Ofqual-recognised awarding organisations such as OTHM, Qualifi and NQual. Each course page names its awarding body and qualification level.
