Every healthsocial.care diploma — from Level 3 to Level 7, whether OTHM or Qualifi — is available at the same two prices: £1,250 for the 6-month fast-track or £950 for the 9-month standard route. The practical implication: compare levels by career fit, not by hunting for a cheaper awarding body on this site.
Browse pathways such as the Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care Management or the Level 7 route, then confirm payment on enrolment.

What Is Included — and What Is Not
Fees cover tuition, platform access, tutor marking against module briefs and awarding organisation registration arranged through the centre. Fees do not usually cover optional resubmission fees beyond policy limits, professional body memberships, or travel to any optional events.
Advanced Learner Loan, Employer Funding and Payment Plans
Eligible learners may use an Advanced Learner Loan — see GOV.UK Advanced Learner Loan. Many employers fund fees via L&D budgets. Payment plans may be available at enrolment — ask before you pay a deposit.
How to Choose 6 Months Versus 9 Months
Choose 6 months if you can protect weekly writing time. Choose 9 months if inspection, on-call or NHS peaks make a faster pathway unrealistic.
