The Qualifi Level 4 and Level 5 Combined Diploma in Education and Training Management is a UK-regulated qualification pathway designed to develop practical teaching, training, educational management and professional development skills. It combines the Qualifi Level 4 Diploma in Education and Training with the Level 5 Extended Diploma in Education and Training Management, providing structured progression from core teaching practice to advanced education and training management.

The qualification is accredited on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and awarded by Qualifi, an Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation. Its learning content is relevant to teachers, trainers, tutors, assessors, education professionals and individuals working or seeking to work in further education, skills, workplace learning and training environments.

At Level 4, the qualification develops understanding of education and training principles, programme design, learner engagement, work planning, programme evaluation and reflective professional development. The Level 5 component builds on this foundation through applied theories and principles of education and training, lifelong learning, resource management, operational work planning, educational leadership and management, and continuing professional development.

Assessment is assignment-based, with written assignments designed to address the learning outcomes and assessment criteria. Learners may be required to use organisational information, case studies and relevant workplace contexts to demonstrate the practical application of their knowledge. Assessments are internally marked by an approved centre and subject to Qualifi’s external quality assurance processes.

For UK and international learners, the qualification provides a structured academic and professional pathway for developing expertise across education, training, teaching practice and educational management. Progression may include further study at Level 6, related higher education pathways or employment in associated education and training professions, subject to the requirements of the receiving institution or employer.
