Credit Transfer for OTHM/Qualifi Level 7 Diplomas to U.S. Master’s Programs

Has anyone completed a master’s degree at a U.S. university with an OTHM or Qualifi Level 7 Diploma and successfully received transfer credits?

Since U.S. universities generally don’t offer “top-up” master’s pathways like some universities in the U.K., I’m wondering whether it’s possible to transfer credits from a Level 7 diploma when applying for a master’s program in the U.S like MBA or MS . 

The issue is that most U.S. universities require transfer credits to come from regionally accredited institutions and usually require a letter grade of B or higher. Because OTHM/Qualifi grades are typically pass/fail, I’m not sure how NACES evaluators assess them.

Usually, it's best to use the educational system from the same region and ladder up to another credential in the same region. Pretty much the same way you've mentioned, Level 5/6 UK Diploma and ladder to a Bachelors from the UK or Level 7 UK Diploma and ladder to a Masters. It is possible to transfer into US institution as long as the US institution would take the evaluation as alternative or elective credit towards the Masters...
