CIPD Foundation Certificate in People Practice

Completion of this course would improve job prospects and earning potential. If in a HR role or a Line Manager, you may progress to the CIPD Associate Diploma in People Management.

Once you have enrolled for a qualification, you will join the CIPD as a Student Member and you will need to remain in membership for the duration of your studies. When you complete your qualification, you’ll be awarded CIPD Foundation Membership, and the designation “Foundation CIPD” after your name. This starts to build your credibility in the people profession, shows you’re serious about your development and that you have a strong base of knowledge to build on. Learners will need a laptop/desktop with access to the internet. You may wish to purchase a CIPD publication written for the course, however, there are some available in the college library.
