Yes. OTHM Level 7 diplomas are regulated qualifications in England. OTHM Qualifications is an awarding organisation recognised by Ofqual, the government regulator of qualifications in England, and its Level 7 diplomas sit at Level 7 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), the same level as a UK master's degree.

**What "recognised" actually means**
Every regulated qualification carries a qualification number and appears on the Ofqual Register of Regulated Qualifications. The register is public, so an employer or university can check in seconds what an OTHM Level 7 diploma covers, how many credits it carries and at what level it sits. This is the same framework that governs qualifications delivered in colleges across the UK.

**Is a Level 7 diploma the same as a master's degree?**
It sits at the same level, but it is not a degree. A Level 7 diploma demonstrates master's-level knowledge and skills in your subject. Many learners use it as a faster, more affordable route to a full award: after completing an OTHM Level 7 diploma, you can progress onto an MBA or master's top-up programme with a UK university.

**Will employers accept it?**
Because the qualification is regulated and independently verifiable, employers in the UK and internationally can treat it as evidence of master's-level capability. Anyone unsure can look the qualification up on the Ofqual register directly, which is exactly what the register exists for.
