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.

  • No employer I have ever worked for has wanted to know this Jason so we must be working in entirely different spheres. Its perhaps because I have largely worked in medium and larger organisations who have other HR professionals who understand these things.


    Similarly I am not sure I have worked with many recruiters who are going through a "tick box" exercise - normally they ask for a particular CIPD status because the client (aka HR) have demanded it. One assumes that HR understand what they are looking for.


    Even if the CIPD Guru can make some link to the points value of being a Chartered CIPD compared to a first or higher degree I maintain its a pointless link and one that searching for won't provide any light or errudition.


    I hold both a Masters degree and am a Fellow of the CIPD. I would not try and equate one to the other and as an employer an not sure many people would. They are different and we shoudl celebrate that difference. 


    You will never persuade (in my view) the majority of people to equate in the sense of interchangeability an academic qualification to a professional membership. But I wish you well in your search just hope you dont need an improbability drive to find the answer
