Chartered CIPD - what is it equivalent to?

Jason Fox

Hello CIPD peeps

I have been asked a few times exactly what the Chartered CIPD qualification is equivalent to in academic terms, and am struggling to evidence this online here.

 Is it a post graduate diploma? At what level is it considered?

 Any pointers helpful - many thanks.

  • Hi Jason

    The way I understand the current set up of CIPD qualifications is as follows:

    Post Graduate Diploma in HRM or HRD is a Level 7 qualification

    Level 7 quals in the National Qualifications Framework are equivalent to Masters level qualifications in the HE quals framework.

    I believe, although I could be wrong with my interpretation, that a Level 7 qual will lead to Assoc CIPD level.

    In order to upgrade to Chartered level you have to go through an upgrading process and thus ends up out of any qualifications frameworks currently being used.

    The way I would describe chartered status is that it's a professional level that goes out of scope of the regular academic frameworks of learning, knowledge and achievement.

    Currently what I can't get my head around is what level qualification employers are looking for when they ask for "CIPD qualified". I hold CPP, but have not yet finished my PG Dip, so does this make me CIPD qualified? I hold Assoc CIPD status, so does this make me CIPD qualified? Who knows?
