What to expect from this CIPD Level 5 course

If you want to improve your people management skills and knowledge, there’s nothing like a prestigious professional qualification from the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development to encourage employers to take notice when you are applying for an HR role.

This CIPD Level 5 qualification has seven units in total. The first three are core units based on the CIPD Profession Map, the next three will help you develop specialist HR knowledge, and the final choice is an optional unit which you can select from a variety of topics. This diploma can take as little as nine months to complete and leads to CIPD Associate Membership.

You can start any time and work at your own pace by taking advantage of our fully flexible HR and L&D online training or enjoy live virtual learning sessions at our renowned facilitated workshops.

Delivery and CIPD qualification cost

You can choose from a range of study modes based on how you learn best.

What does your pathway to being CIPD qualified look like?

Your learning journey for this CIPD level 5 course will typically last up to 18 months but could be completed in much less time than this.

You’ll start by completing the induction for your programme so you can get to grips with what’s to come. This will involve:

  • Accessing the learner community and online resources

  • Receiving your handbook

  • Being introduced to your personal adviser

  • Exploring your unit workbooks

  • Accessing study skills webinars

You’ll be able to study at your own pace, anywhere anytime, with our Virtual Learning Environment. Generally, learners spend two or three months on each unit, but the pace will be dictated by your chosen method of delivery and personal circumstances.

Over the course of this time, you may attend live online workshops and webinars, have one-to-one catch ups with your adviser, join online discussions and regularly receive course materials in the form of articles, activities and videos.

Michaela did a fantastic job leading us through the day. It was my first live webinar, so before attending, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect.

Again another great course. I was a little worried of having a full day after two shorter days for the first unit. However, Lorraine kept me fully engaged throughout. She has lots of positive energy and made everything seem super easy! By using real life examples I felt like it all helped cement the information.
