The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is the world’s largest professional body for those involved in the management and development of people.
It has more than 150,000 members worldwide, and every year, 25,000 professionals study CIPD HR and L&D qualifications. CIPD is also the only organisation in the world that can confer Chartered status on HR and L&D professionals.
CIPD accreditation is the gold standard for professional quality in human resources and learning and development. This means that CIPD qualifications are highly respected and sought-after by employers.
Where CIPD qualifications aren't a necessity, they'll put you head and shoulders above the competition.
Every learner is different, so you should always talk to an experienced CIPD advisor before committing to a course, but here’s a rough guide to CIPD's three levels:
If you’re new to HR like our student Katherine, our CIPD Level 3 Foundation Certificate will give you a strong introduction to the foundations of HR so you can launch your HR career and excel in roles like HR Assistant and Administrator.
If you've got some experience with HR or a university degree like Susan, our CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma will allow you to build on your existing knowledge and gain roles like HR Manager or Advisor.
If you have lots of HR experience or an HR degree like HR Director Helen, our CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma will develop the strategic thinking you’ll need to shine in the most senior HR roles. Level 7 courses are set at postgraduate level, with the CIPD Level 7 Diploma being equivalent to a Master's Degree in HR.
Before you enrol with us, our expert CIPD advisors will talk through your experience, education, and ambitions to ensure you’re choosing the right course for you.
If you’re not ready to commit to a full CIPD qualification and would like to focus on only the essential modules, you could study one of our CIPD Core programmes.
The CIPD Level 5 Core programme covers 3 modules:
It has an average completion time of 6 months and a support period of 9 months.
The CIPD Level 7 Core programme covers 4 modules:
It has an average completion time of 9 months and a support period of 12 months.
Bear in mind that our Core programmes won’t give you a CIPD qualification, just the essential skills you need to succeed in an HR position.
If you complete a Core programme and then decide you’d like to move onto the full CIPD Diploma at that level, you won’t need to take the whole course again – you can simply complete the extra modules and you’ll be CIPD qualified!
For more information on our CIPD Core programmes, get in touch with our course advisors by webchat, email or phone.
