Level 5 diplomas in Logistics and Supply Chain
The smallest sector on the site: two OTHM programmes, one at each credit value, sharing the same Level 5 units. Both carry published total qualification time (1,200 and 2,400 hours) and a regular twenty-credits-per-unit structure, so the comparison between them is the cleanest on the site and comes down entirely to what you already hold.

Choosing within Logistics and Supply Chain
Start from what you hold
A Level 4 qualification in a related subject points to a Diploma; a Level 3 qualification points to an Extended Diploma. This decides more than anything else on the page.
Then read the unit lists
Where both awarding bodies offer a programme in this sector, the unit titles show how each frames the subject. Open two programme pages in separate tabs, or use the compare tool.
Then check the hours
Total qualification time is published for most OTHM programmes and not for most Qualifi ones on their web listings. Where the figure is missing, the specification PDF linked from the programme page has it.
