We will be beginning with online learning only when we launch the new diploma in March due to COVID restrictions. If you would prefer a blended learning model with some face to face classes once we are allowed to do so, please mention this when enquiring.

The cost of the CIPD Associate Diploma is £2100 + VAT.

You can pay for your course with low interest free monthly direct debit payments; and we accept all types of credit and debit cards.
We also accept enhanced learning credits. Please note that you will need to join the CIPD as a student member - this cost is not included in the course cost above and is £140 for the year.

You will study the following core units:

• Organisational performance and culture in practice
• Evidence-based practice
• Professional behaviours and valuing people.

You will study two of the following specialist units, and one optional unit:

Specialist units:
• Employment relationship management
• Talent management and workplace planning
• Reward for performance and contribution.

Optional units:
• Specialist employment law
• Advances in digital learning and development
• Learning and development essentials
• People management in an international context
• Diversity and inclusion
• Leadership and management development
• Well-being at work

Each module will be assessed with a written assignment.

Currently all delivery is online only due to COVID restrictions. Once it is safe to return to classroom based learning you will be able to choose from online only or a blended model of both classroom and face to face study. Workshops will take place on a monthly basis and learners will have unlimited tutor support as well as 24 hour access to our online learning environment BUD.

We can deliver to closed cohorts in-house if desired, please call us on 01642 956970 or email for more information.

All courses include CIPD registration and all course materials however candidates will need to become a member of the CIPD - this will be a separate cost payable directly by the candidate of £140 per year (or employer if part of an apprenticeship).
