The LRN Level 5 Diploma in Business and Enterprise and LRN Level 5 Extended Diploma in Business and Enterprise are qualifications designed to provide practicing or aspiring managers with formal development in their roles. They achieve this by enhancing management understanding and equipping participants with the knowledge necessary at this level.

-       Candidates are not required to be currently employed to pursue these qualifications. They may be involved in voluntary activities or preparing for employment.

-       These qualifications are stand-alone, and their entry requirements must be considered as follows:

o   Candidates who have completed any LRN Level 4 Diploma or LRN Level 3 Certificate are eligible to enroll in the Extended Diploma only. LRN will also consider qualifications from other awarding organizations.

o   Other candidates must possess one of the following:

§  Two Level 3 passes (at 'A' level standard)

§  A Level 3 qualification or higher, as recognized on the UK's regulated qualifications framework or equivalent overseas qualifications, as determined by UK NARIC. Such qualifications should have a similar number of learning hours as the LRN Level 5 Diploma in Business and Enterprise or LRN Level 5 Extended Diploma in Business and Enterprise. LRN reserves the right to reject qualifications deemed to have insufficient subject relevance.

-       LRN will evaluate each application individually. In the absence of such qualifications, LRN will consider a candidate's employment status and history of knowledge, in lieu of qualifications. A signed reference letter from the employer must accompany each application.

-       Candidates must provide evidence of English language proficiency.

Knowledge, skills, and understanding: While LRN does not require learners to have prior knowledge or skills in this area, it may be beneficial for them to possess some understanding of the subject matter.
