This qualification builds on the CIPD Level 3 Foundation Certificate in People Practice and is aimed at further expanding learners’ independent practice to enable them to evolve into more senior roles within organisations as people professionals.

Learners’ work will be mainly operational with some complexity. They will contribute to the thinking around their work, analysing information to inform choices and actions. Working with and influencing others through their work will create short-term value for a wider audience.

Using a framework of HR and L&D understanding, behaviours and skills development, this qualification offers opportunity for learners to transition to employment as people managers

This course replaces the Intermediate Certificate in Human Resource Management. 

The course is equivalent to SCQF Level 9.

Cost of course - £1750

Fees include course textbook provision and online resources (Emerald Database).
In addition, CIPD membership is a requirement. Students pay this cost directly to CIPD.
