OTHM Level 6 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management

Step Into Management with Bachelor's Level Credentials

You’ve proven yourself on the operational floor. You understand logistics inside and out. But when management positions open up, the job descriptions demand “Bachelor’s degree or equivalent.”

That’s where you stop. Not because you lack ability, but because you lack the paper credential. Meanwhile, fresh graduates with zero experience get interviewed ahead of you.

This stops now. The OTHM Level 6 Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management is your Bachelor’s degree equivalent—a credential that recognizes your expertise and opens management doors that have been closed too long.

Professional Recognition and Progression

Is OTHM Level 6 equivalent to a UK Bachelor's degree?

Yes, absolutely. OTHM Level 6 is placed at RQF Level 6, which is the same level as a UK Bachelor's degree. It's recognized by universities for Master's program entry and by employers as a degree-equivalent qualification.

Can I get a management job with Level 6 even without years of experience?

Level 6 significantly strengthens your position, but management roles typically require some experience. If you're relatively junior, Level 6 accelerates your progression dramatically. Combined with 2-3 years experience, you become highly competitive for management roles.

Will UAE companies recognize this qualification?

Yes. Major employers in UAE logistics including DHL, DP World, Aramex, Emirates Post, and multinational corporations recognize OTHM qualifications. Many of our alumni work in prestigious UAE companies.

How much time do I need to dedicate weekly?

Plan for 12-15 hours per week. This includes reading materials, research, and assignment writing. The flexible format lets you study more intensively when you have time and ease off during busy work periods.

What's the difference between Level 5 and Level 6?

Level 5 is equivalent to a Higher Diploma (2nd year university), while Level 6 equals a full Bachelor's degree. Level 6 is more strategic, covers advanced topics, and carries more weight with employers, especially for management positions.

Can I pursue an MBA after Level 6?

Yes! OTHM Level 6 provides direct entry into MBA programs and Master's in Supply Chain Management. Many UK universities offer 1-year MBA top-ups specifically for Level 6 graduates.

What if I don't have Level 5 qualification?

If you have a Level 4 qualification plus significant relevant work experience (typically 3+ years in logistics/supply chain), you may still qualify. Contact M2Y Safety for an individual assessment.

How is this different from professional certifications like CILT?

OTHM Level 6 is an academic qualification (degree equivalent), while CILT is a professional membership body. Both have value, and many professionals hold both. Level 6 provides broader business knowledge; CILT offers professional recognition.

Will this help me work internationally?

Absolutely. OTHM qualifications are recognized globally. Many of our graduates work in UK, Europe, Singapore, Middle East, and other regions. Supply chain management skills are in demand worldwide.

What support does M2Y provide for job hunting?

We offer comprehensive career support: CV optimization for supply chain roles, LinkedIn profile enhancement, interview coaching, salary negotiation guidance, job opportunity alerts, and access to our alumni network in major companies.

Why Level 6 is Your Strategic Move

Consider where you want to be in 5 years:

Without Level 6:

Stuck in coordinator/officer roles
Passed over for promotions
Salary growth limited to 3-5% annually
Few international opportunities
Dependent on employer loyalty

With Level 6:

Qualified for management positions
Competitive for strategic roles
Salary growth of 30-50%
Global career mobility
Independence and options

The choice isn’t whether to get qualified. It’s whether to do it now or wish you had started sooner.
