How will I be taught?

Students must achieve an 80% minimum attendance requirement and commit to self-directed study, equivalent to the time spent in college, when preparing for class/group work, academic research and assignments. You will also be required to attend pre-arranged individual tutorials. The 33 weeks are not consecutive and college holidays are taken as indicated on the college website.

Our classes will be face-to face teaching where possible. However, there may be the occasional need for classes to be taught on-line and to complete remote self study. You will, therefore, need technology that can support the use of Microsoft Teams. 

What modules are covered?

• Organisational performance and culture in practice
• Evidence-based practice
• Professional behaviour and valuing people
• Employment relationship management
• Talent management and workforce planning
• Reward for performance and contribution
• Specialist employment law

How will I be assessed?

Continuous assessment is used throughout the course by a variety of written assignments, skills activities and workplace evidence. 

What Next?

After successfully completing this qualification, you will be welcome to progress to the CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management.

What is the entry process?

This course is aimed at students who have completed a level 3 course: that is either a CIPD Level 3 course, A Levels, National Diploma or equivalent. Ideally, you should also have some experience working in people management or a role that has some people management content, such as a line manager or senior administrative role. This course may also be suitable for those with a degree in a non-related subject, who would like to enter the people management profession, and have some work experience within other professions.

Please note that a partial adult learner loan is available for this course of £724. An interview with a member of the teaching team is required, prior to, or at enrolment and this will be completed at one of the open evening events run by the college or remotely via a Teams call.
