What will you study?

By studying four core units in Business Culture, Core Behaviours, Analytics and the Essentials of People Practice, you’ll develop the expertise to support change and make an impact in your organisation. You’ll focus on real-life scenarios, acquiring core behaviours derived from the CIPD’s new Profession Map, which is based on the cumulative insights of thousands of experts. CIPD qualifications set the international standard for people professionals. You’ll gain the confidence to drive your career forward – and with CIPD membership, the recognition needed to connect to the role you’ve always dreamed of.

CIPD membership – CIPD membership gives you a badge of professionalism that’s internationally recognised. It showcases your knowledge and impact within the people profession. Once you’re registered for a qualification, you’ll join the CIPD as a Student Member; the first step in your CIPD membership journey.
