‘Working full-time and having two young children, it was important that I could work at my own pace. My HR Director encouraged me to take this route rather than do an MA, as she felt CIPD was more about applying the theory in practice.’

Sarah Watts
‘The course tutor was absolutely wonderful, and every time I emailed him he was replying back instantly to go through the topics I was unsure of. I believe that was the only reason I managed to complete my 1st module just in 3 weeks.’

And our CIPD pass rate is 99% across every level.*
There are five CIPD qualifications to choose from.
The CIPD Foundation Certificate in People Practice is designed for those with no or minimal HR/L&D experience. It’s perfect if you’re looking for your first HR or L&D role.
The CIPD Associate Diploma in Operational Learning & Development is designed for those with some training experience who are looking for a mid-level L&D role. It’s also suitable if you have experience of training in a non-L&D role (for example, as a manager), or if you're new to L&D but have a degree and want to begin your studies at a higher level.
The CIPD Advanced Diploma in Strategic Learning & Development is designed for those with considerable L&D experience who are ready to take on postgraduate-level study. It’ll prepare you for strategic senior L&D roles and allow you to apply for CIPD Chartered Membership once you have the necessary professional experience.
If you'd like to specialise in HR rather than L&D, you could also study the CIPD Associate Diploma in People Management or the CIPD Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management.

If you’re not ready to commit to the full qualification and would like to focus on only the essential modules of this course, you could study our CIPD Level 7 Core programme.
The programme has an average completion time of 9 months and a support period of 12 months, and covers 4 modules:
Bear in mind that the Core programme won’t give you a CIPD qualification, just the essential skills you need for senior L&D roles.
If you complete the programme and then decide you’d like to move onto the full CIPD Level 7 Diploma, you won’t need to take the whole course again – you can simply complete the extra 4 modules and you’ll be CIPD qualified!
