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.

  • I think until employers cotton on to the fact that there are now 3 grades of status within CIPD, I too think a CIPD qualified person could mean a whole host of different things.

    I'm lucky in that I work for a manufacturing business that places emphasis on mechanical engineers and chemical engineers to reach Chartered status in their fields, and this will help me to explain my status when I finally reach Chartered. I assume a chartered engineer will be roughly the same level as a Chartered HR professional.

    I would suggest in the world of CIPD, you are currently more "qualified" than me because of your chartered status, but then if you were to compare CV's in terms of other academic qualifications and vocational work experience, it becomes a different kettle of fish again.

    Despite us HR people always trying to find the best candidates that fit the criteria for a job, I feel it goes a long way if every applicant is assessed based on their application and not necessarily whether they fit the criteria. But that would take time.... a lot of time, so probably the best practice, but not the most applicable practice.
