Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management
How much does CIPD Level 7 cost? With TESS Group the CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management is individually priced per cohort as a standalone qualification. It is CIPD’s highest level, set at postgraduate standard, and completing it opens the route to Chartered Membership (MCIPD) of the CIPD.
A standalone CIPD Level 7 for senior HR leaders and CPOs. The qualification that earns Chartered Member status.
Standalone, or alongside a TESS apprenticeship.
You can take CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management as a direct, self-funded or employer-paid qualification.
