What are the benefits of a CIPD qualification?
One of the primary benefits of a CIPD qualification is that they are a gateway to a wide range of HR roles. While qualifications like these are not mandatory for a role, many employers will not consider candidates who do not have a relevant CIPD qualification.
For an entry-level role such as a HR Assistant, you’ll be looking at an average salary of £25,000 and will likely need a Level 3 qualification. Which, with MOL Learn, is only going to cost 5% of your expected salary in one year. Ultimately, CIPD qualifications tend to have a high return on investment for those seeking employment or career progression.
When you complete a CIPD qualification you also get access to a CIPD membership. A CIPD membership is a highly valued in the industry and gives you:

CIPD qualifications are particularly worthwhile if you’re looking to begin a HR or L&D career or progress in your existing role.
