Hello,
I’m looking for some explanations/recommendations about the UK qualifications. I would be really grateful for any advice anyone can offer on choosing the right course level and recommendations of providers. I moved to Glasgow few years ago and I decided to sign up for an MSc in HRM getting, unfortunately, only a Postgraduate Diploma (120 credits). The course was officially recognized by CIPD. My question is: how can I get the missing 60 credits to achieve the master qualification? I tried to contact CIPD but instead, they offered me a CIPD Level 3 Foundation Certificate in HR Practice informing me that it does have any academic recognition. From this point of view, my Postgraduate Diploma credits look like have no acknowledgment. I'm now really confused what I should be doing! I don’t understand why I should start again a course when I already got an academic diploma. It looks like that academic diploma doesn’t have real validity and is more valuable get the level 3. Could anybody explain and give me suggestions?
Many thanks
