CIPD qualifications give you the best of both worlds: a core curriculum based on the international standard for people practitioners, along with the freedom to tailor whatever you study to your specific goals.
No matter where you are in your career, a CIPD qualification gives you the strategies you need to build your skills, boost your career and make your mark within the people profession. A CIPD qualification enhances your impact – and connects you to the professional future you’ve always dreamed of.
CIPD qualifications are recognised by employers as a global standard of excellence. They are seen as a commitment to developing your future, and show the profession you value knowledge and ethical practice. CIPD qualifications are underpinned by our Profession Map.
The Profession Map was developed in collaboration with CIPD members, business leaders, industry experts and partner organisations. Over 19,000 industry experts from around the world of work have contributed to it. This is your chance to tap into that knowledge.
Once you are registered to study your qualification, you’ll join as a student member. With Student Membership, you’ll have tools and resources to succeed at your fingertips and gain your designation, putting you on the path to the professional recognition that you aspire to.
Successful completion of a CIPD qualification gives you Foundation or Associate Membership of the CIPD, depending on the qualification you completed. CIPD membership gives you a badge of professionalism that’s internationally recognised. It showcases your knowledge and impact within the people profession.
