Level 6+7 Diploma Bundle in Information Technology

The bundle sits on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) at Levels 6 and 7.

2 levels (L6+7) · Information Technology · From GBP 1,500
The Level 6 and 7 Information Technology Diploma Bundle operates at the senior and postgraduate tier of the Regulated Qualifications Framework. Level 6 is the undergraduate equivalent; Level 7 is the postgraduate equivalent — the level at which MBA programmes, executive development, and director appointments are positioned. This bundle is for experienced professionals targeting the senior end of their field, not those starting out in it.
About this Information Technology combined pathway
Level 6 covers enterprise-level IT management: enterprise architecture and systems integration, advanced cybersecurity strategy and regulatory compliance, digital transformation programme management, IT service management frameworks, vendor and procurement governance, senior project leadership, data governance in enterprise and regulated environments, and the strategic planning responsibilities of IT managers, heads of IT, and senior infrastructure directors. Level 7 advances to the executive layer: technology strategy and corporate innovation, IT and cyber governance at board and audit committee level, enterprise IT investment appraisal and portfolio management, leading and evaluating large-scale digital transformation programmes, managing technology risk as an organisational-level concern, and the advisory, directorial, and C-suite responsibilities of CTOs, IT directors, and chief information security officers. Together the two levels cover the full senior leadership and executive technology management arc.

Who this package is for
This bundle is for senior and director-level professionals in Information Technology who want a postgraduate-equivalent qualification. It is typically taken by people already in or targeting IT Manager or Systems Architect roles, by experienced professionals who want Level 7 as a basis for MBA or doctoral study, and by those operating at a strategic or advisory level who want a formal qualification that reflects the seniority of the work they do — not a qualification they are studying toward.
How the combined pathway works
Level 6 is studied first, covering enterprise architecture, digital transformation management, advanced cybersecurity strategy, and IT management at degree level. Level 7 builds directly on this with technology strategy, executive IT governance, investment appraisal, and C-suite leadership. Both levels are assessed through portfolio submissions online; there are no examinations.
Why combine Level 6+7 in Information Technology?
CTO, IT director, and CISO roles require Level 6 and Level 7 credentials. Taking both as a combined programme avoids a separate re-enrolment, produces a coherent degree-to-executive qualification record, and is more cost-effective than two individual enrolments.
Study online while you work
Portfolio assignments at both levels draw from the learner's actual senior IT environment. Level 6 work covers enterprise architecture reviews, transformation programme documents, vendor governance frameworks, and regulatory compliance assessments. Level 7 assignments are executive in scope: technology strategy papers, board-level governance reports, IT investment appraisals, and large-scale digital change leadership evaluations — built from evidence in the learner's own organisation or from structured senior management case studies. There are no fixed class times or examinations.
