Upgrading from Certificate to Diploma

Morning all

I'm starting my L5 Certificate in HR in September, hopefully sponsored by my employer.

Upon completion, is there an option to study the additional Diploma modules to 'upgrade' from the Certificate to the Diploma?

I'm not after the higher award specifically as it's the learning that comes with the additional modules that I'm interested in, so the Diploma would be a pleasant bonus. (There isn't an option for my employer to pay for the Diploma so any additional study would be self-funded.)

Thanks in advance

Garry

    The provider only offers the L5 certificate, and for my day-to-day career plans and progression that's all that I need at the moment. Longer term I may decide to skip the L5 diploma and go for an L7 qualification: I have a reasonable amount of practical experience and the CIPD qualification is to help strengthen my understanding of the theory.

    The provider is a local college that we've used before and comes with some excellent reviews and feedback from colleagues. Exciting times ahead!
