About Advanced level qualifications
CIPD's Advanced level qualifications are ideal for those aspiring to become effective HR practitioners - whether working as managers or consultants in generalist or specialist roles. Set at a postgraduate level, CIPD Advanced level qualifications will develop your understanding of organisations and the changing external context within which HR operates.
Using critical analysis, self-reflection and problem solving techniques, you will learn how to develop and implement creative and strategic HR solutions that drive organisational performance.
The CIPD Advanced qualifications provide you with a professionally recognised qualification, plus our Advanced diplomas provide the underpinning knowledge towards CIPD professional membership (Associate, Chartered Member or Chartered Fellow).
CIPD Advanced level qualifications are level 7 (level 11 and 9 for Scotland and Ireland respectively). They are equivalent to a postgraduate level qualification.
