What is CIPD?

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is a renowned professional association for HR professionals.

It provides comprehensive resources, training, and qualifications designed to support skill development. With its extensive research and global network, CIPD plays a critical role in shaping modern workplace practices.

Reasons to Become CIPD Certified

If you’re interested in working in human resource management, a CIPD qualification will not only support your goals, but they will take your career to the next level. Here’s our top four reasons why you should achieve a CIPD qualification:

  • Expand knowledge and skills
  • Earn more money
  • Accelerate career growth
  • International recognition

Expand knowledge and skills

By studying a CIPD qualification, you’ll gain more knowledge and insights than what would be possible through work experience. You will also complete assessments that require you to apply your knowledge to real-world examples, which will further enhance your skills and capabilities.

Earn more money

A key report by CIPD has shown that HR professions with a CIPD qualification earn on average 12% more than those without a CIPD qualification. To put this into perspective, a HR professional with a £30,000 salary could earn around £33,600 for the same role, simply by being CIPD certified. The report also shows that HR roles requesting CIPD qualifications pay up to £4,400 more than those not requesting CIPD qualifications. This further reinforces the salary potential of a CIPD certification.

Accelerate career growth

Completing a CIPD qualification shows potential employers your dedication to the industry and your commitment to HR best practice. This is sure to get you straight to the top of any shortlist, accelerating your career growth in the sector. When you study a qualification, you also obtain CIPD Student Membership. This membership provides you with access to further networking opportunities with other industry professionals all over the world.

Although it was established in the UK, CIPD is a highly recognised institute, with over 160,000 members in countries across the globe. The skills you’ll learn are the global standard for HR professionals, so your CIPD credential will benefit your career no matter where you are located.
