Senior HSE job descriptions sometimes ask for a “diploma.” That word can mean very different regulated levels. This comparison summarises commonly cited facts so you can choose a postgraduate-oriented UK pathway Myaokay® actually delivers.
Myaokay® does not deliver NEBOSH qualifications. Comparisons below are for educational pathway planning only. Always verify current awarding-body rules on official sources before you enrol.
| Aspect | NEBOSH Level 6 Diploma (commonly cited framing) | Qualifi Level 7 OHSM (offered via Myaokay®) |
|---|---|---|
| RQF / typical level cited | Often framed as RQF Level 6 | RQF Level 7 (postgraduate-level framing) |
| Credits / size (commonly cited) | Around ~43 credits (verify on official specs) | 120 credits; 1200 Total Qualification Time (TQT) |
| Regulation reference (Qualifi) | Check current NEBOSH / Ofqual listings officially | Ofqual-regulated Qualifi award; RN5160 commonly referenced for OHSM |
| Assessment style (high level) | Typically exams plus practical elements (confirm officially) | Assignment-based professional study model for the Level 7 diploma pathway |

Level 6 and Level 7 sit at different points on the Regulated Qualifications Framework. Level 7 language aligns with postgraduate and strategic leadership expectations-useful when job ads mention managerial HSE, organisational culture, or strategic risk. Level 6 diploma pathways remain respected; they are simply not the same regulated height as Level 7. Always confirm the current specification with the awarding organisation before you enrol.
The Qualifi Level 7 International Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety Management is positioned as an Ofqual-regulated Level 7 award. It consists of 8 units and 120 credit points (1200 TQT), with assignment-driven assessment rather than a purely exam-centric model. At Myaokay®, delivery is online with trainer support over a typical six-month window for working professionals.
If you work in oil and gas, petrochemicals, or other major accident hazard environments, Qualifi Level 7 Process Safety Management (4 units, 60 credit points) may match job language better than a general OHSM diploma. Advisors can help you choose based on your sector, not marketing fashion.
Choose Qualifi Level 7 with Myaokay® when you want a UK-regulated Level 7 diploma we can enrol you on, with clear progression from ESC IDHSE. If you specifically require a NEBOSH Diploma product, you must pursue that through an authorised NEBOSH provider-Myaokay® is not one.
