Qualifications for people at each stage of career

CIPD qualifications are one of the ways you can professionalise your team. Based on our new Profession Map and the insights of 19,000 experts, our qualifications are designed to meet whatever challenges your organisation faces.

CIPD qualifications don’t just equip your people professionals with critical knowledge and skills, they also result in CIPD member status - nurturing your team with internationally recognised credentials. And, giving them access to a wealth of valuable tools and resources that can be put straight to work for your organisation.

Delivered at three levels, they are designed to help develop your people at every stage of their career.

Choose from:

• Foundation level: aimed at those starting out in HR or L&D, or working in a support role. Successful completion leads to Foundation Membership of the CIPD
• Associate level: aimed at those already working in HR or L&D, and looking to develop their knowledge and skills. Successful completion leads to Associate Membership of the CIPD
• Advanced level: aimed at experienced professionals, looking to advance to a strategic level, and aspiring to become a Chartered Member. Successful completion leads to Associate Membership of the CIPD.
