About this course
This is an Advanced Level 7 course, so you should have a good level of HR experience and be prepared to undertake postgraduate-level study.
A degree-based educational background would also be beneficial.
If English is your second language, we recommend you have an IELTS 6.5/ESOL Level 2 or equivalent, but we're happy to review your case on an individual basis.
On completion of this course, you'll achieve a CIPD Level 7 Advanced Award in Human Resources, and your certificate from CIPD will reflect this.
The subject you studied will be specified on your attached transcript.

- Critically analyse and discuss existing literature, contemporary HR policy and practice relevant to the chosen issue
- Compare and contrast the relative merits of different research methods and their relevance to different situations
- Undertake a systematic analysis of quantitative and/or qualitative information and present the results in a clear and consistent format
- Draw realistic and appropriate conclusions and make recommendations based on costed options
- Develop and present a persuasive business report
- Reflect on what has been learned during the project and how this can be applied in the future
If you'd like to study a broader range of topics and prepare for strategic senior HR roles, we recommend the comprehensive Level 7 Diploma or mid-length Level 7 Certificate.
