CIPD Level 5 Diploma in Organisational Learning & Development

The CIPD Level 5 Diploma in L&D is designed to help those with existing L&D knowledge or experience formalise their training and advance into mid to senior level roles. You’ll learn how to design effective learning strategies, measure the impact of people practices, and develop professional behaviours to drive organisational performance, culture, and employee growth.

CMI Level 5 Certificate in Leadership & Management

Alongside CIPD modules, you’ll complete the CMI Level 5 Certificate to strengthen your leadership toolkit - building the confidence and practical management skills needed to lead people and projects effectively.

This unique course combines the CIPD Associate Diploma with additional CMI modules, giving you stronger leadership skills and a competitive edge over your peers as you progress your career into management level.

Why choose the combined fast-track package?

By bundling CIPD and CMI, you can achieve CMI accreditation faster and at lower cost than completing each qualification separately, while boosting both your L&D credentials and leadership capability.

Course details

To be awarded the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in Organisational Learning & Development & CMI Level 5 Certificate, you’ll need to successfully complete three core units, three specialist units and an additional specialist unit of your choice, as well as two CMI units.

You will explore topics ranging from how to retain top employees to managing conflict in the workplace and earn a widely recognised CIPD qualification and CMI management qualification, equipping you with the skills to become a senior L&D professional and advance your people practice career.
