About Level 3 Foundation qualifications

Level 3 Foundation qualifications are perfect if you want to acquire a wide range of relevant practical skills in HR and development. Our Level 3 Foundation certificates and diplomas also give you a professionally recognised qualification and the knowledge towards Associate professional membership. You can choose to follow a HR or L&D pathway and you also have the opportunity to study individual foundation level awards to either start or top up your HR and L&D knowledge.

Level 3 Foundation qualifications replace and are equivalent to the previous Certificate in Personnel Practice (CPP) and Certificate in Training Practice (CPP).

Who are Level 3 Foundation qualifications for?

  • Those who are aspiring to, or embarking on, a career in HR or Learning and Development (L&D) 
  • Who are working in the field of HR/L&D in a support role and wish to develop their knowledge and skills
  • Who have the responsibility for HR/L&D activities and decisions within an organisation without a specialist function.
