If you want a respected route into HR or Learning & Development, a CIPD qualification is still the benchmark employers recognise. CIPD is the UK’s professional body for HR and people development, with a long-established reputation for raising standards across the profession.
At Bradfield, you can study the three core pathways—CIPD Level 3, CIPD Level 5, and CIPD Level 7—with structured support, practical assessment (no exams), and learning options that fit around work.
The CIPD Level 3 qualification is ideal if you’re entering HR/L&D, moving into a people role, or want to formalise early experience with a recognised credential.
You’ll learn the essentials of people practice—how organisations work, how to support the employment lifecycle, and how to apply evidence and analytics in day-to-day HR decisions.
Duration and study options: Bradfield offers flexible routes including online on-demand (self-study), live online classes (often scheduled in the evenings), and blended learning. Depending on the route, completion can be faster or more structured.

A CIPD Level 5 qualification is built for professionals who are already in HR/L&D (or taking on people responsibilities) and want to deepen capability, credibility, and career options.
You can choose one of two pathways:
• Associate Diploma in People Management (HR route)
• Associate Diploma in Organisational Learning and Development (L&D route)
Both routes are recognised at RQF Level 5 in England and Northern Ireland and can lead to CIPD Associate Membership on successful completion.
How long does it take? Duration is 10 months part-time, depending on your study mode and pace.

If you’re aiming for senior HR leadership—or already operating at that level—CIPD Level 7 is designed to build strategic judgement, influence, and research-led practice.
Bradfield offers CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma routes in Strategic People Management and Strategic Learning & Development. These programmes are geared towards experienced professionals who want to lead strategically and shape outcomes at organisational level.
Duration: often 18 months, with learning structured to work alongside a full-time role (including evening live online sessions).
Completion can lead to CIPD Associate Membership, and depending on your experience, you may be able to apply for Chartered membership.
CIPD qualifications are built for real workplace practice—what you learn should translate directly into better decisions, stronger people management, and higher standards.
