Dear Salim,
There are no CIPD centers in Sharjah, except for a few affiliates in Dubai KV. Which module have you taken or will you be taking? Please let me know. I am already pursuing the PD&D postgraduate qualification.

I am planning to do. How much does it cost? How much time does it take, and at what time are classes conducted? Where are the classes conducted? What is the market value of the SPHR course? How much is the travel time from Sharjah? Can it be done part-time?

Dear Salim,
Good morning.
CIPD and SPHR are two different institutions. CIPD is based in the UK, and SPHR is a certification awarded by HRCI in the USA.
HRCI - Human Resource Certification Institute, USA,
PHR - Professional Human Resources
SPHR - Senior Professional Human Resources
GPHR - Global Professional Human Resources
HRCI - Human Resource Certification Institute, USA. This body certifies and authenticates your knowledge and experience in HR through Prometric testing centers. The test windows have a fixed schedule, and in Knowledge Village, you can appear for these tests.
Chartered Institute for Personnel Development, UK
CIPD in Dubai - In Dubai Knowledge Village, there are institutes offering certificate courses such as CTP (Certificate in Training Practice) and CPP (Certificate in Personnel Practice).
CIPD in Sharjah - To the best of my knowledge, there are no institutes in Sharjah offering CIPD courses.
Apart from certificate courses, there is a range of courses you can study on your own. Visit their website for more information.
If you need further clarification, you can call me anytime.

Hi Salim,
I am also keen on acquiring the CIPD, and my questions are pretty similar to yours. I mean, things like those you had on your mind about:
- How much does the entire course cost?
- What is the duration of the course and where are the classes conducted?
- Also, at what time are the classes usually held?
- Are there certain qualifying aspects on the basis of which you are considered eligible to join? Educational background, work experience, or any language proficiency exams — anything in particular?
Did you manage to find answers to these questions? Also, since you posted your query quite a while back, there is a possibility that you have already enrolled for the CIPD. If so, please give me some feedback on your experience.
Have a great weekend!

Hello,
As for the CIPD, I am currently pursuing a CIPD CTP certification in Dubai through a company called Oakwood International via Knowledge Network on Sheikh Zayed Road. The cost is AED 35,000, and attendance is mandatory for the entire training period, which consists of 4 modules per year, each spanning five consecutive days. For further information, please contact me, and I can refer you to the individuals in charge who will take good care of you.

Hi Sajid - you are really doing a great job here. To add up, I was looking for enough information on this CIPD. To my disappointment, I couldn't find any test centers or information related to examinations that can be attended online, or course material that I could access, and how to apply for that.
I am very interested in taking this course. I am in India, working at Accenture for 2 years in payroll. Your suggestions and information would be of great help to me. Thanks in advance.

Hi, good to see you again. Yes, you can very well enroll at a study center in the UK. You get a chance of 2 years to finish your course. If you are consistent in your studies and assignments, you can finish the course in 9 months. You are required to attend a 3-day workshop in the UK, and then the final written papers can be arranged in the country wherever you are.
You mentioned Bahrain. Are you relocating to Bahrain? If so, where in Bahrain? Do let me know. I was teaching HR and T&D there for 6 years.

Hi all,
I am working as an HRD Assistant Manager, pursuing the PDS CIPD through flexible learning here in Dubai with ICS, a UK-based company. I have been in Dubai since February 2008. I travel back to the UK twice a year for the three-day workshops they provide. I have already been back once and I am due to go back in March '09. I believe examinations can be taken via the British Council in Dubai. However, a company is setting up here in 2010 that will also offer the full PDS CIPD. I plan to transfer to this course later so that I can participate in more classroom activities without leaving the UAE.
In the meantime, I am self-motivated and work long days. I am interested in meeting individuals studying the same subjects for discussions, ideas, revision, real-life examples for assignments, etc., or even revising literature elements and presenting them to others as a more 'fun' way to learn while practicing public speaking.
For those considering which course to take, I highly recommend the CIPD for its comprehensive study of all aspects of organizations, from economics to social issues. It is well-recognized internationally, and I recently attended a conference where Vicky Wright, the CIPD President, spoke. It is now evident that the CIPD is becoming more international in terms of content, enhancing the credibility of the postgraduate qualification.
Hope to speak to some of you soon.
Nic!

I have some free time at the moment until I get a job in Dubai, so in order to utilize the time, I thought of increasing my knowledge base. Can you advise which out of the two is good - SHRM certification or CIPD? And internationally recognized. Since I am looking for some qualification which can be used even outside UAE.

Hi Sajid,
SHRM is indeed the Society for Human Resource Management, offering certification programs like SPHR, PHR, and GPHR. I have gone through your previous posts on them. However, my question is on the value of certification from the perspective of the learning offered and its utility in other parts of the world. At the moment, one cannot decide whether they will be working for an American or British company always, and I believe that certification should meet all criteria.
So, I wanted to know which out of the two is of more value if you are a global professional?

Good afternoon Manmeet,
I do not know much about your SPHR and PHR, but I do know a lot about the CIPD. I know that it is certainly the qualification that people are calling out for back in the UK and is now internationally recognized. I have seen it in job ads here in Dubai. It is at the same level as a Chartered Accountant, as it is the Chartered Institute for Personnel Development, which is at the Master's degree level. My advice to you is to search through some job advertisements and see what qualifications they are looking for. I bet that CIPD comes up in some of the high-profile jobs. However, it is your qualification, and you should choose what suits you best, so don't feel too much pressure here.
I have had a quick look at the websites for SPHR and PHR, and it seems they are national qualifications, not international, but I may be wrong. Being a member of the CIPD means it has the extra edge of continually updating your knowledge; you have to do so to remain a member. Furthermore, the Master's is just the beginning. You then progress further into different fields to be a true professional in your area. Each stage, which is challenging, that you go through (post CIPD certificate) opens more doors. It means that you can also add additional letters to your name, which can be easily distinguishable by fellow HR professionals at a glance when looking at CVs. Each letter represents years of experience, exams passed, etc.
Good luck in your decision, and I hope I don't come across too pro-CIPD!

Dear Salim,
I have been working as an HR head for the MEARC region for an IT company until recently. I have around 11 years of working experience in HR (In India & Dubai). Though my career has been in HR throughout, my academic background is an MBA in General Management. Since I have quit my job due to personal reasons a couple of months ago, I would like to utilize this time to further my knowledge in certain specialized fields like leadership management, coaching, and mentoring, more on a senior HR level. Is there any course you would suggest for this?

Using critical analysis, self-reflection, and problem-solving techniques, you will learn how to develop and implement creative and strategic HR solutions that drive organizational performance.
The CIPD Advanced qualifications provide you with a professionally recognized 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.
