Employment Law qualification

A quick Google threw up 49 courses in the UK.... the search criteria were (using the speech marks):

"employment law" degree

Not all of them are pure employment law, but the majority are.

Interesting subject, but unless you plan to work in a firm of specialist employment lawyers an LLM is(IMHO) overkill - most people in generalist roles acquire a fundamental employment law understanding (not deep knowledge) in their initial studies, and keep abreast of employment law as it develops by reading updates on legal sites or CIPD publications (paper and on-line) and external courses.

Some CIPD courses do not have a law module or it is just part of ER and in my experience most HR people do not have a good or up to date grip on employment law.

if it is just filling in the gap in their training them there are certificates in Emp law from the places that still do a LLM.
If you want to get a good deep understanding and or you want to do a specialist Er role or move into Consultancy then a master (LLM) is the way to go

I totally agree with Peter on this. The LLM provides scope for a thorough investigation of many wider aspects of ER issues and Emp Law implications. It's a very well recognised and understood level of professional HR knowledge in the wider business community and provides a very sound basis for personal career development in many directions. I'd recommend investigating the University Law Schools close to home as a first step.
