The Advanced Diploma in Strategic Learning and Development is right for you if you are an experienced people practitioner and are keen to develop the strategic development skills needed to lead and influence others.

THE COURSE

Comprising eight units in total, four of which are core units based on the CIPD Profession Map you will study areas such as organisational design and development, leadership and management development and look at ways to design learning solutions. These units will help you understand how you can add real value to your organisation and gain a deeper understanding into strategic development activities.

You can choose to take up to 2 years to complete the Diploma but depending on your chosen study mode you can complete in as little as 12 months and we are happy to discuss the options available to you further as we recognise that everyone learns at a different pace.

Watson Martin is one of the few CIPD centres which has offered the full range of CIPD Advanced L&D units for many years and we only use expert tutors.

Regardless of the mode of study you choose, you will be supported by a personal adviser for the duration of your programme who will provide the advice and guidance needed to help you complete your CIPD Diploma successfully.
