CIPD Advanced Award: Resourcing and Talent Management

CIPD Advanced Award: Resourcing and Talent Management

The new Advanced Level Awards in Human Resources from CIPD enable you to broaden and deepen your knowledge and skills on a particular subject while providing an ideal opportunity for supporting continuing professional development (CPD).

This module focuses not just on the practical aspects of recruitment, selection, employee retention and dismissal, but also on the strategic aspects to equip learners with the knowledge and skills required for resourcing and talent management within a global context. Skills can be sourced by hiring employees, but also through other means such as the employment of agency workers, subcontractors and consultants, or through outsourcing arrangements. To mobilise an effective workforce organisations hire people from employment markets, which obliges them to compete for talent with other employers whenever demand for skills is greater than the available supply. 

Entry Requirements

This is a Level 7 programme and requires a good level of HR experience. 

The Advanced Level Award in Human Resources are for those who:

  • Have the responsibility for HR decision-making within an organisation at either operational, tactical or a more strategic level
  • Are HR professionals in a team or HR functional management role, and are seeing to enhance and develop their career
  • Have responsibilities for the HR function and activities within an organisation without a specialist function
  • Are independent or employed consultants who support organisations in meeting their goals.

Where will I go from here?

As all the modules form part of the Advanced level diploma, you can also use your award to work towards meeting the knowledge requirements for CIPD professional membership (Associate, Chartered Member or Chartered Fellow) by taking additional modules to achieve a full Advanced level diploma. 

What will I gain?

On completion, you'll receive a CIPD Advanced Award in Human Resources.
