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.

  • What is the point though of comparing a Chartered Engineer with a Chartered MCIPD? They are different, representing different professional paths. It would be like comparing a swimmer to a runner. You can admire both for being Chartered if you like but trying to say they are equal is a pretty pointless activity in my view.


    You prove professional standing plan and simply by attaining the relevant professional standing within the Institute. Thats is, for me no simpler or more complex.  As to external recognition until the profession attains the wider recognition (which I think we are no closer to than ever) then the recognition won't follow - you cant force someone to recognise you by saying look at me my MCIPD is really equivalent to a Masters Degree or a C.Eng.


    You don't prove professional standing by force fitting it into some other scale or measure.


    And Liz you havent wasted 7 years of your life as you have attained (I assume) both an accademic qualification that is comparable to other academic and a professional membership that is recognised as the badge within teh industry. O and probably gained a whole heap of knowledge along the way :-)
