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.

    Many thanks for that...yes, it seems as clear as mud I guess, but thats helpful. I can now say that I have qualified beyond academia to the lofty heights of CIPD-ness.;-)

    As for what employers want - I dont think they even know. I think that some of the more unscrupulous recruitment agents out there lead employers up whatever path they wish to justify their exorbitant fees and probably couldnt care less between the CIPD grades. So long as their placements last longer than the 3 month rebate fee.

    I was considered AssocCIPD for many years and got along quite well to be honest, gaining senior HRM roles. It wasnt until I returned to my homelands of the wild North East where competition is rife, that a selection of very few people actually specified Chartered level (and even then I dont think they knew what they were actually getting for their money...). It was at that point that I thought it would be rude not to do the qualification, self funded it and elevated myself to more heights of CIPD-ness. But of course, met the criteria based upon being qualified by experience and competence pretty much anyway, which was all employers wanted to hear. It got me to interview.

     As for the recent grade changes...I wont even go there hey?!

    I'd say you were 'CIPD qualified' for sure as Assoc CIPD. Perhaps using the grade letters might even be detrimental on a CV in the sifting process?

     Giz a job!
