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.

  • .....but thats not what employers want to hear to be honest Keith and its actually a real world question I have been asked - not hypothetical.

    Its great we can pat ourselves on the back and say we have 'achieved' and are 'professionals', but with a demand to prove worth and value, the competition is on to demonstrate the worth of this in real world terms - which in this case are to match it academically.

    Employers find it a mystifying area, which isn't helped by recruiters
    who want to tick a box, earn a fee and dazzle them with (very little)
    science by demanding such qualification. Why not employ an Associate CIPD member who has years of solid 'qualification by experience' for example?

    I've asked one of the CIPD staff who may hold the key to these and may more questions to jump in here to add some clarity when they are able to. They will be along shortly Im sure but happy still to chat.

    A good discussion from a small query to be honest.

    (Cue obscure *sci-fi reference*)

    Just dont anyone tell me that the answer is 42 or I may have to just go and find my towel and have a long lay down...
