Questions and answers
How much is the hard copy of the qualification and is there a transcript of units achieved on both digital and hard copy?What is qualification number
Answer:Morning Kathy, OTHM stopped issuing hard copies of the certificate in Feb 2022. They issue e-certificates which are easily verified by employers and agencies via online electronic verification instantly. The hard copies can be ordered from OTHM portal which all learners get access to for life. This will cost £30 + Courier charges. This can be ordered anytime after your certification is received from the centre. The digital copy is included in the cost of the course. Hope this provides answers
This was helpful.Can the full level 4 and 5 be completed in 36 weeks as per the description? I want to complete all core subjects 240 credits.
Answer:Hi Kathy, If you are interested in studying both level 4 and 5 diploma, then I would suggest registration on the Level 5 Extended Diploma in Law. there are 6 units to study at each level, totalling to 12 units across both level totalling to 240 credits. Although we recommend 3-4 weeks per unit for study, but really it depends on the learner on how they pace up and study the programme. Technically, yes, you can complete both levels in 36 weeks, and we have had learners successfully achieving it.
