The CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management is a 37-week programme of part-time study available on campus or on a distance learning basis.
Distance Learning: the course is delivered via an initial zoom session to introduce each module, followed by a set of online resources and assignments for you to access and complete at a time that suits you.
