Chartered CIPD - what is it equivalent to?

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.

  • Hi Everyone - Interesting post!

    I would like to add something if I may....

    I did the Post Graduate Diploma in Employment Law, also known as the Advanced Certificate in Employment Law with the CIPD.  It is a level 7 qualification.  I chose this particular course on the basis that it is where my interest lies, (although I am in a generalist position) and I felt would be the most beneficial for giving advice and as an Advanced Certificate and being Level 7 I thought I would get upgraded! BUT after all that hard work and I was astounded to find out that this particular level 7 qualification does not 'count' in terms of membership grade at all!!  Bizarre.

    So, as a result I am the proud owner of this level 7 qualification in Employment Law coupled with 12 years experience in HR and Recruitment and ta da, I get to stay with my 'Affiliate' membership.  

    Makes no sense to me....
