Course Description CIPS has announced a new ‘ladder’ of qualifications, designed to be more relevant, wide ranging, innovative and flexible, to meet the needs of a variety of learners. The ladder offers something for everyone, whether in a junior role, a part-time role or whether an individual is striving to reach the very top of their profession.
Each level has been designed to equate to specific job roles and to match the skills and core competencies at that level of responsibility in the work place.
To obtain the CIPS Graduate Diploma, students will have to study (or be exempt from) levels 4 and 5 and then complete level 6 (the new Graduate Diploma Award). Together with three year’s relevant work experience, this will lead to full membership and the designatory letters MCIPS.
These levels are made up of 15 units as follows: • Level 4 – Five compulsory units
• Level 5 – Three compulsory plus two choice units from three options
• Level 6 – Three compulsory plus two choice units from three options
