If you’re not ready to commit to the full qualification and would like to focus on only the essential modules of this course, you could study our CIPD Level 7 Core programme.
It covers 4 modules:
- Work and Working Lives in a Changing Business Environment
- People Management and Development Strategies for Performance
- Personal Effectiveness, Ethics and Business Acumen
- Business Research in People Practice
The programme has an average completion time of 9 months and a support period of 12 months.
Bear in mind that the Core programme won’t give you a CIPD qualification, just the essential skills you need for senior HR roles.
If you complete the programme and then decide you’d like to move onto the full CIPD Level 7 Diploma, you won’t need to take the whole course again – you can simply complete the extra 4 modules and you’ll be CIPD qualified!
For more information on our CIPD Core programmes, get in touch with our course advisors by webchat, email or phone.
