Please note that workshops are held approximately every 4 weeks, and studying at this level will require independent research and be conducted out with class time. However, support and guidance will be provided in order for these skills to be developed.  In addition, all learners will be allocated a mentor from the CIPD teaching team, for any additional support required, for the duration of the programme.

This qualification galvanises learners with a depth and breadth of understanding of people practice and management to furnish them with the insight and strategy development skills required to operate and lead in an organisational setting at this level.

It is suited to individuals who:

• are experienced people practitioners
• are working in a senior people practice role and wish to extend and deepen their skills and understanding to shape strategy, policy and people
• wish to shape people practice, creating value for a wider audience
• are currently leading and managing people and practice within organisations

Upon successful completion of the CIPD Level 7 (equivalent to SCQF level 11) Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management, learners with the relevant professional experience can apply for Chartered Membership.

Further details can be found on the CIPD website www.cipd.co.uk.

On successful completion of the Advanced Diploma students can apply to Strathclyde University to complete top up research and dissertation units to achieve an MSc.

• Relevant experience will be required and a degree in a relevant subject would be an advantage.
