Course overview

Progress onto more senior roles within your career with our Level 5 CIPD Diploma in People Management.

It is suitable if you’re already working in HR or people focused roles.

The course focuses on practical learning that you can apply straight away in the workplace, helping you connect theory to the working environment.

Studying part time allows you to balance your learning alongside work commitments. You will be encouraged to use your own workplace examples to support your learning and assignments, helping to reinforce understanding throughout the course.

Course information

You will learn how to develop the relationship between the employee lifecycle and how people practice connects and supports wider people and organisational strategies.

The course focuses on how to support internal customer needs and ensuring that business goals and objectives are delivered in line with customer requirements.

If you’re already working in HR, you’ll be able to apply what you learn straight away to real workplace situations.

The qualification also introduces you to areas such as:
• Organisational performance and culture in practice
• Evidence-based practice
• Professional behaviours and valuing people
• Employment relationship management
• Talent management and workforce planning
• Reward for performance and contribution
• Diversity and inclusion

Learning face to face in a supportive environment means you can ask questions, take part in discussions and learn from others’ experiences. This approach helps you build confidence, deepen your understanding and get the support you need, particularly when working through assignments and assessments.

Structured sessions and clear assignment guidance will help you navigate CIPD’s requirements and stay on track throughout the course.
