Established in 2003, OTHM offers a comprehensive suite of qualifications ranging from Level 3 to Level 8 on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), covering disciplines such as business, health and social care, education, IT, logistics, and tourism. These qualifications are designed to be flexible, accessible, and aligned with UK academic standards, enabling learners to progress into higher education or enhance their professional careers.

With a global network of approved centres, OTHM provides learners worldwide with opportunities to gain UK-equivalent diplomas that are respected by employers and universities alike. Each qualification is credit-rated and structured to support academic progression, career development, and practical skill-building. Whether you’re a school leaver, working professional, or international student, OTHM’s programmes offer a clear pathway to success through rigorous standards and industry relevance

Internationally, OTHM has established a strong presence through a network of approved centres operating in over 40 countries. These centres deliver OTHM qualifications in local contexts while maintaining UK academic standards, enabling learners to access British education without leaving their home countries. A notable example is the OTHM Level 3 International Certificate in Environmental Management offered in Saudi Arabia, which aligns with the country’s Vision 2030 sustainability goals while adhering to UK regulatory frameworks. This global reach allows OTHM to contribute to international development by equipping learners with transferable skills and recognised credentials that support mobility, employment, and further education across borders.

In addition to its delivery network, OTHM actively collaborates with universities and professional bodies worldwide to facilitate academic progression and recognition. Many OTHM graduates use their qualifications to gain advanced standing in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, particularly in the UK, Europe, and Commonwealth nations. The organisation also supports top-up routes to bachelor’s and master’s degrees through partnerships with accredited institutions. This recognition underscores the credibility and portability of OTHM awards, making them a valuable asset for learners seeking global opportunities. Through its international engagement, regulatory compliance, and learner-centred approach, OTHM continues to shape the future of education by offering accessible, high-quality qualifications that meet the needs of a diverse and dynamic global community.
