The Qualifi Level 5 Extended Diploma in Education and Training Management is a comprehensive qualification designed to develop advanced knowledge and practical skills for professional roles across education, teaching, training and learning environments. Accredited within the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), the qualification carries 240 credits, with 2,400 Total Qualification Time (TQT) and 1,200 Guided Learning Hours (GLH).

The programme combines the Level 4 Diploma in Education and Training with six Level 5 units, creating a structured pathway that covers both the foundations of education and advanced management-focused practice. Core areas include applied theories and principles of education and training, lifelong learning, resource management, operational work planning, educational leadership and management, and reflective professional development.

The qualification is particularly relevant to teachers, trainers, tutors, assessors and education professionals seeking to strengthen their professional knowledge, leadership capabilities and career progression. It develops understanding of teaching, learning and assessment while also addressing inclusive practice, professional values, quality improvement, organisational accountability and the effective management of educational resources and operations.

Assessment is based on written assignments supported by organisational information, relevant case studies and, where possible, workplace research. Successful completion requires achievement of the assessment criteria across all 12 mandatory units. The qualification can support progression to related Level 6 study, employment in associated professional roles, and potential progression towards the final year of a relevant bachelor’s degree, subject to university-specific arrangements.
