Overview

With an Associate Diploma in Organisational Learning and Development, you’ll no longer simply support change and learning in your organisation – you’ll help drive it.

This qualification is aimed at further expanding your independent practice so that you can evolve into learning and development leaders and managers.

Your work will be mainly operational with some complexity.  You will contribute to the thinking around your work, analyse information to inform organisational learning and its future capability.  Creating learning environments and supporting employees to continuously develop will create motivation and value through impactful learning.

What will I study?

You’ll hone your people management knowledge, and choose from optional units that you can tailor to your specific interests. You’ll focus on real-life scenarios, acquiring the core behaviours derived from the CIPD’s new Profession Map, which is based on the cumulative insights of thousands of experts.

CIPD membership

CIPD membership gives you a badge of professionalism that’s internationally recognised. It showcases your knowledge and impact within the people profession. Once you’re registered for the qualification, you’ll join the CIPD as a Student Member, the first step in your CIPD membership journey (cost in 23/24 was £144).

We’ll support and encourage you throughout your studies and help you grow in confidence and deliver more impact. You’ll gain access to extensive resources like our expert research, journals, factsheets, helplines and online communities, helping you to build your network.

When you complete your qualification, you’ll be awarded CIPD Associate Membership, and the designation “Assoc CIPD” after your name. This establishes your credibility as a professional, raises your profile and opens doors to new job opportunities.

Attendance

In addition to the face-to-face classes on a Tuesday evening, there will be a requirement to attend an additional twenty face-to-face and/or online sessions held on weekday evenings across the academic year.

Classes will take place at our City campus.
