This year, the CIPD introduced their new CIPD qualifications: Foundation Certificate, Associate Diploma, and Advanced Diploma.

Each qualification is aligned with the updated CIPD Profession Map, which incorporates insights from 19,000 experts.

 These qualifications combine professional insights with practical, real-life scenarios, helping you develop the knowledge and skills needed to make a significant impact in your workplace and advance your career.

What are CIPD qualifications?

CIPD qualifications are professional certifications in Human Resources (HR) and Learning and Development (L&D), offered by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) and provided by MOL.

They’re designed to enhance knowledge and skills, making you more effective in your role and boosting your career prospects.

Levels of CIPD qualifications:

CIPD qualifications are structured into three key levels, each catering to different stages of your career in HR and L&D.

  • Foundation Level (Level 3): Basic principles of HR and L&D for beginners.
  • Associate Level (Level 5): Intermediate skills for operational roles.
  • Advanced Level (Level 7): Strategic skills for senior roles.

The benefits of a CIPD

Earning a CIPD qualification offers numerous benefits that can significantly impact your career in Human Resources (HR) and Learning and Development (L&D).

  • Career advancement: A CIPD qualification opens doors to new opportunities, enhancing your professional prospects and positioning you for higher roles within your organisation.
  • Professional recognition: Completing a CIPD course leads to CIPD membership, which is highly regarded in the industry and adds credibility to your professional profile.
  • Practical skills: The courses focus on real-life application, equipping you with the practical skills necessary to excel in your role.
  • Improved earning potential: CIPD qualifications can significantly boost your earning potential. Professionals with CIPD certifications typically achieve higher salaries compared to their non-certified counterparts, reflecting the value and expertise they bring to their roles.

CIPD qualifications are recognised globally and are essential for anyone looking to establish or advance their career in HR and L&D.

New CIPD qualifications at MOL

Our expert team at MOL has designed and developed new and innovative course material and a new On Demand study mode.

Building on the success of our ‘Live Online’ and ‘Classroom’ study modes, the new ‘On Demand’ mode  offers the ultimate flexibility, allowing you to learn at your own pace while balancing work and home life.

Our updated CIPD Qualifications give learners the opportunity to achieve CIPD Foundation, Associate, or Chartered membership upon completion:

Emily Allen, MOL Product Manager for HR, Learning, and Innovation, said:

“The new CIPD qualifications very much focus on real life experiences and how individuals can impact their own workplace through their knowledge and skills.

People are at the heart of HR and our learners are at the heart of what we do.

Our new courses and modes of study are centred on our individual learners giving them the flexibility to study how they want to, at their own pace and in their own style.”

Transitioning to new CIPD qualifications

Existing CIPD qualifications will run alongside our new CIPD study programmes until the summer of 2023, when they will be phased out.

Rest assured; all learners enrolled in these qualifications will have the chance to complete their studies as planned.

This transition period ensures that you have ample time to finish your current programme while considering the new and enhanced qualifications we offer.

Our updated courses are designed to provide greater flexibility and up-to-date content, better aligning with the evolving needs of the HR profession.
