What qualifications are most respected by employers?

John

Hi all, first post in the CIPD forum :-)

I'm currently trying to get into the L&D world from an FE and teacher training background (have seen that there are some threads relevant to this so won't drag it all up again). What I'm wondering is, which L&D qualifications are most respected by employers in the industry?

I currently have DTLLS (level 5 teaching qual) and working towards Level 5 Coaching & Mentoring.

Thanks

John

  • Hi, this is a bit of a challenging area. There is no simple standard for one real reason - there is no "standard L&D role"
    From a delivery point of view you have it covered.
    If on the other hand you want to develop more into the management of L&D, then a more strategic course will help. But again there is no standard.

    Juts to be difficult, often many of the coaching course are not cross regognised! To be grank its a mess. If you have aspirations to be involved in organisational development, then look to the more senior CIPD qualifications (a big overlap with HR) and look towards organisational psychology.

    hope this helps your thinking
