Level 3 diplomas in Business and Management
Business is the subject most people pick when they want to keep their options open, and the range at Level 3 reflects that. The smaller 60-credit diplomas cover the working parts of an organisation: communication, customers, marketing, people, money. The 120- and 180-credit programmes add academic English, research and study skills, and are built for learners who intend to go straight on to a Level 4 diploma. None of these gives you UCAS Tariff points. If you need points for a university offer, look at the routes page first.
Every diploma here is delivered, assessed and certified by London School of Planning and Management (LSPM), the approved centre. This site is LSPM's independent recruitment agent and is paid by LSPM on enrolment.

Points, and the lack of them
None of the business and management diplomas listed above has a UCAS Tariff value. If you already hold a scored qualification in a related subject, such as a BTEC National, add it up with the calculator before deciding you need one of these. If you have no points, or not enough, the diplomas are a regulated route to a Level 4 diploma in business and management or a related subject at LSPM.
