Syllabus Change Level 7 in HR?

Marco

Hi all,

A bit of context:

Today I spoke with a salesperson from Avado who was trying to sell me level 5. This came several days after my initial inquiry, during which I researched and realized level 7 was far more worth my time and money. So I asked if they offered Level 7, to which he said CIPD is going to change the syllabus so they are waiting for that to happen before they start offering that level.

My questions are:

A) Is this just somewhat of a clever excuse to justify indefinitely not offering courses at level 7?

B) Or is it true that a change is coming soon, and so it´s best to wait before doing level 7?

My gut tells me A is true because he was shamelessly trying to discourage me to go for Level 7 with reasons such as "it costs >7k" and "it´s for director level". 

What are your thoughts?

Many thanks

Marco

  • Level 7 is a higher level qualification that is targeted at people operating at more senior levels able to direct and influence strategy/policy. To get the most out of a L7 course you should be exposed to those sort of activities.

    However like any "academic" course pretty much anyone can actually do a L7 course (and indeed some students do right after an undergraduate degree without any experience. Whilst I think this is probably a bad idea it does happen and they pass the course (the difference I guess between qualifications and learning)

    So while there is a grain of truth in what he says I think like Peter Stanway this is just a sales pitch as they want (for whatever reason) to push you towards a L5. Even if syllabus is changing any qualifications gained will still be valid as many members will have "qualified" under the old regime.
