What You Will Study

With a CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management, you’ll no longer simply support change in your organisation- you’ll help drive it.

  • Increase your knowledge in employment relationship management, talent management and performance reward
  • Take the next step into a more senior people profession role

You’ll hone your people management knowledge, as well as 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.

This course has multiple start dates throughout the year and for 18 months. You will be based at Norfolk House on Exchange Street in Norwich city centre.
