Within 3 months of completing my CIPD qualification with DPG, I had secured a temporary position which turned into permanent employment as a HR Generalist. Since then I have gained a promotion.

Whether you're taking your first step in the people profession or ready to give your career the glow-up it deserves, you can choose to study your course 100% online or mix it up with blended learning. Either way, you'll gain a world-class CIPD qualification and the skills to set you apart in your industry.
No fluff. No fuss. Now that's no-nonsense.
A CIPD qualification is a professional certificate or diploma awarded by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), the only Chartered body for people professionals in the world.
Recognised as the gold standard for HR and L&D training, CIPD qualifications are respected in the UK and internationally. They’re also the most straightforward way to gain CIPD membership, enhancing your career prospects in people management and development.
How long it takes to complete your CIPD qualification will vary depending on the course you choose, your learning method, and the time you have to dedicate to your studies. However, on average:
For every unit you study, you'll complete a written assignment (up to 4,000+ words). You'll hand these in online where they'll be marked by our assessors and moderated by CIPD. Depending on what course you study, you might also need to submit video assessments.
But don't worry! If you don't pass an assignment the first time, you'll be able to have another go with feedback and advice from your tutor. We’ve got your back!
We give you two options, so you can choose a style of learning that suits you!
Our 100% online programme gives you a totally flexible experience that helps you fit your CIPD course seamlessly into your life. You can access your course materials from anywhere and on any device, helping you cut out the chaos and learn at your own pace.
Prefer classroom learning? Our blended learning programme offers a unique combination of online and in-person learning, including engaging online workshops led by expert tutors for each unit of study. With this option, you'll enjoy the perfect mix of community, collaboration, and flexibility.
For more info on how blended or online learning works, give us a ring or shoot us an email. Our friendly course advisors would be happy to chat you through the process!
We pride ourselves on bringing you phenomenal support before, during, and after your programme.
Once you’ve enrolled, you’ll be assigned a tutor whose job is to make sure you’re successful in getting CIPD-qualified.
Plus, on top of 24/7 access to our online learning platform, you'll have unlimited access to our Career Hub, offering you thousands of resources to help you impress employers and build your dream career.
CIPD qualifications and membership are a big win for your career – and employers know it too! Being CIPD-accredited gives hiring managers confidence that they’re bringing talented, skilled, and up-to-date people professionals on board who can make a real impact in their organisation.
Don’t just take our word for it – a quick scroll through HR job listings will show you that many roles either require a CIPD qualification or expect candidates to be working towards one.
Starting your CIPD qualification is a brilliant way to open doors to new career opportunities and stand out in the competitive world of HR and L&D.
At DPG, we pride ourselves on helping you get qualified without breaking the bank.
