About OTHM

A UK-regulated qualification, delivered locally.

OTHM (Organisation for Tourism and Hospitality Management) has grown beyond its original focus into one of the UK's leading vocational awarding organizations, regulated by Ofqual to issue qualifications recognized across business, accounting, management, and tourism and hospitality. Its diplomas are built on the UK's Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), giving each level a clear, internationally understood equivalence — from foundation-level study through to postgraduate and doctoral-level practice.

iGEM Philippines is approved to deliver OTHM diplomas locally, giving working professionals in the Philippines access to a UK-regulated credential without needing to study abroad. Diplomas are structured for flexibility around a working schedule, and several levels connect directly into PPA Business School's degree programs — Level 4/5 diplomas top up to the PPA Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), Level 7 diplomas top up to the PPA MBA, and Level 8 builds toward eligibility for the PPA Doctor of Business Administration (DBA).
