Frequently Asked Questions

Does CIPD increase salary?

Employers highly value CIPD qualifications, and as such, a CIPD qualification can significantly increase your earning potential. CIPD-qualified candidates often earn up to 17% more than their non-certified counterparts.

How much do CIPD qualifications cost?

The cost of CIPD qualifications varies depending on the level (CIPD Level 3, CIPD Level 5, CIPD Level 7) and the learning provider.

We believe everyone should have access to quality HR training. That's why e-Careers offers the most affordable CIPD qualifications without compromising quality.

Is CIPD only for HR?

Yes, primarily. CIPD stands for the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, focusing on HR training and people management. However, many skills gained—such as leadership in HR, business strategy, employee development, and organisational behaviour—are transferable across management roles.

Is CIPD equivalent to a degree?

While CIPD Level 3 and CIPD Level 5 are not degree-level qualifications, they are highly regarded professional credentials that enhance your career in HR.

The CIPD qualification levels include:

Level 3 (Foundation): Equivalent to A-Levels.
Level 5 (Associate): Equivalent to an undergraduate degree.

Is CIPD difficult?

CIPD courses require dedication and effort, but our comprehensive learning materials, expert tutor support, and flexible study options make the learning process manageable and achievable. Our high pass rates demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
