Choosing Between CIPD and XLRI's PGD in HR: Which Course Offers More Benefits for Your Career?

Dear Seniors, I am a resident of Dubai and working as an HR professional. I would like to know which curriculum I should choose between the CIPD qualification and XLRI's PGD programme. Basically, I am an MBA-HR from an AICTE-approved college. I seek your advice on understanding the benefits I would get from the two courses if pursued.

If you are willing to settle down in India sometime in the future, XLRI is the best option. You can also consider trying TISS and other reputable Indian institutes.

Excellent HR Services.

Thank you for your quick reply. Although I understand the basic difference between CIPD and XLRI's PGD qualification, my concern is whether pursuing CIPD and potentially returning to India in the future would result in it being recognized there, and what future prospects I could expect. I have also heard that in CIPD, they solely provide course material without practical sessions, whereas in XLRI's PGD program, I will have the opportunity to interact with XLRI's faculty, which I believe would be a valuable experience. However, I am uncertain about which program would offer me a better and more comprehensive view of HR.

To all senior members,

Kindly assist me with this matter.

For a holistic view of HR, you can pursue the XLRI PGD program. Even in India, there is a famous quote, "XLRI is the place where actual HR basics are learned."
