34 diplomas 10 subjects No UCAS Tariff points

Level 3 diploma pathways, by subject

Every OTHM and Qualifi Level 3 diploma that London School of Planning and Management (LSPM) can deliver, grouped by subject. Each is a regulated qualification and a route to a Level 4 diploma through the centre. None of them carries UCAS Tariff points, which is why they sit on this site next to a calculator that will tell you so.

Before you browse

If you already hold A levels, a BTEC National, a T Level or another scored qualification, run it through the calculator first. You may not need any of these. They are for people the Tariff does not serve.
