Why choose a CIPD qualification ?

  • CIPD qualifications are valued by employers
  • Opportunity to study HR in a business context
  • Delivery methods to fit around work and busy lifestyles
  • Boost your earning potential  by gaining a professional qualification recognised by employers  
  • Enhance your practice from knowledge gained from professional membership

The CIPD qualification is very highly regarded in the Human Resources profession.  Many employers use CIPD accreditation as a ‘benchmark’ when recruiting externally, so the qualification is very important in that respect. Membership to CIPD would lead to high regard within the organisation, with greater respect for the work I do."
