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 the fundamental question here is - what will a qualification tell us that a trial period of work experience cannot? Other than somebody can apply themselves to study academically for a set period of time.

    There is a company local to me who offer telephone based HR advice. They are continually recruiting, and their criteria is for HR qualified people - graduates with degrees in HRM or law, or CIPD qualification. I applied for a job with them and was turned down because I wasn't fully qualified, yet I had a degree in economics and part CIPD qualification. I couldn't (and still can't) understand what a degree in HRM actually qualified the advisors to do.

    But yes Jason, I guess all HR professionals realise they are the forgotten function in the business, unless we're proving that we are "adding value". I feel that HR is going around in a circle and for a period I think we will eventually head back to the era of personnel rather than human resources. My business doesn't have a fancy HR strategy. I just try to ensure we look after each person fairly, in the line with the legislation, whilst keeping an eye on the business needs. But I am a stand alone generalist :)
