Employment Law Level 7 with CIPD or a PG Cert in Employment Law - views please

Rachel

Hello All

I would like to study for either of the above named courses.  I am a little concerned about cost of the latter at £2500 having already self funded my Level 5 Cert in HRM for close to £4000 a few years ago....

£2500 seems reasonable given course content as shown in the link https://www2.uea.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/taught-degree/detail/pg-certificate-employment-law-part-time

Would anybody be willing to cast an eye please over the link and provide a view.  I am particularly keen to hear from those with a heavy complex ER bias and or those in smaller commercial settings with a headcount of less than 500.    I don't know whether to start next September or give it another year to allow Brexit to bed in?

The CIPD Level 7 seems a little dated given some of the course material I can see.  

My desire is not to be an HRD or similar, I want to feel really comfortable with my employment law knowledge and possibly set myself apart from other solid HR Advisor / Business Partner candidates in the local market. 

Thank you so much for your time.

  • Hallo and welcome, Rachel

    I’d also highly recommend

    www.northumbria.ac.uk/.../

    - a long way from East Anglia, but an effective programme IMHO, wherever you are located. Flexible between PG cert, diploma and LLM ( it’s all the same course content- just in varying quantities - and good value.

    Can’t speak from any experience of the CIPD material, but doubt you’d get much better.

    However, bear in mind that a postgraduate programme in Law is not quite the same as HRM - it’s a lot more specialised and in a way detached from the rough and tumble of the workaday world, but that’s perhaps inevitable.
