Course Introduction

This course is delivered online only. 

This Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) qualification is a foundation for those seeking a career in Human Resource Management.
The course builds on the Level 3 CIPD and is aimed at expanding learners’ independent practice to enable them to evolve into more senior roles within organisations as people professionals.

Learners’ work will be mainly operational with some complexity. They will contribute to the thinking around their work, analysing information to inform choices and actions. Working with and influencing others through their work will create short-term value for a wider audience.

Using a framework of HR and L&D understanding, behaviours and skills development, this qualification offers the opportunity for learners to transition to employment as people managers.

Learners are required to successfully complete a total of seven units totalling 42 credits.

To gain the qualification, you will need to successfully complete three core units, three specialist units and one additional unit.

Three core units:
  • Organisational performance and culture in practice
  • Evidence-based practice
  • Professional behaviours and valuing people

Three specialist units:
  • Employment relationship management
  • Talent management and workforce planning
  • The reward for performance and contribution

Plus one additional unit:
  • Specialist employment law
  • Advances in digital learning and development
  • Learning and development essentials
  • People management in an international context
  • Equality, diversity and inclusion
  • Leadership and management development
  • Wellbeing at work
  • GCSE English and maths at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent)
  • Learners must be aged 18+ 

If English is not your first language you must demonstrate a high standard of both spoken and written English to register for a CIPD awarded or approved qualification.

An initial assessment will be completed before enrolment to assess suitability to join the course.

All students are required to join as CIPD members. The CIPD registration is an additional cost alongside the tuition fees.

All units will be assessed through written assessment.

Each unit will have an online tutor introduction and ‘check in’ as you progress through the unit. You will have access to resources to support your learning to be able to complete the written assessment within a set timeframe.

Learners will be assessed to evaluate an individual’s attainment of knowledge, understanding and skills.

This qualification is not graded, so learners will receive either a pass or fail. All assessment criteria must be met to achieve a pass. If the complete qualification is not achieved, credit can be issued in the form of a statement of standalone unit credit.
Successful completion of the level 5 course could lead to acceptance onto level 7 studies.
A pre-course assessment is required to assess the ability to write at this level.
