Dear Sheila,
I am in the process of completing my Leadership and Management Level 5.
Do I need to register with CQC?
Dear Ben,
If you are a Registered Manager then you should notify them that you have completed the qualification.
If you are not then when you are offered a job as a Registered Manager the job will be offered to you subject to registration with the Care Quality Commission.
At that stage you will have to complete all the registration forms on their website. http://www.cqc.org.uk/content/apply-new-registered-manager
Best wishes,
Sheila
