CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Human Resource Development | HR

We match any other online provider's price.

The CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Human Resource Management is the most comprehensive and advanced HR qualification offered by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD). It's replaced their CIPD Professional Development Scheme and is equivalent to a Master's degree.

This fully online course is perfect if you're in a personnel management or strategy role and want to build on your knowledge. It will prepare you to take on roles such as Head of HR and develop and implement HR policy at the highest level.

A Level 7 CIPD qualification is also ideal if you aspire to become a Chartered Member of CIPD, as it'll set you on the pathway to Chartered Member (MCIPD) or Chartered Fellow (FCIPD) status.

You'll gain a deep understanding of the environment and contexts within which HR practitioners, management and workers interact, and become familiar with current research on approaches to human resource management and development.

You'll also have the option of specialising in key areas such as employment law, talent development, organisational design and reward management.
