The Qualifi Level 7 Diploma in Project Management is an advanced UK-regulated qualification designed to develop the strategic, analytical and leadership capabilities required to manage complex projects and organisational change. The qualification is accredited to the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), with the Qualification Accreditation Number (QAN) 610/1342/0. Qualifi is recognised and regulated by Ofqual as an awarding organisation (RN5160).

The qualification focuses on applying advanced project management principles to contemporary business and industry contexts. Its learning areas include project planning, controlling and leadership; procurement and contract management; project and logistics management; operations and information management; research methods; global supply chain management; leadership and professional development; risk, uncertainty and complexity; innovation; project management planning; and finance for project managers. Learners select six units to achieve the 120-credit qualification.

A key feature of the Level 7 Diploma in Project Management is its emphasis on critical thinking, problem-solving, independent research and the practical application of project management theory. Assessment is primarily through written assignments, with learners expected to use organisational information, case studies and, where possible, workplace-based examples to demonstrate their learning. Assessments are internally marked by approved centres and subject to Qualifi’s external quality assurance processes.

For UK and international learners, the qualification can provide a structured pathway for developing advanced project management expertise and preparing for greater responsibility in project-focused environments. Successful learners may progress to a Qualifi Level 8 qualification, further university study such as a master’s degree, or employment in an associated profession, subject to the relevant institution’s or employer’s requirements.
