Course Summary

This course provides a firm foundation in all aspects of the people profession, supporting the development of knowledge and skills that are required at an operational level. It is particularly suitable for individuals starting their career in the people profession or those already in a support role who seek a recognised qualification to enhance career progression within the field.



Course Details

The CIPD Level 3 Foundation Certificate in People Practice covers the following topics:

• Business, culture and change in context

• Principles of analytics

• Core behaviours for people professionals

• Essentials of people practice


How will it be delivered and assessed?

Learning is continuously assessed through class activities. However, formal assessment is through successful completion of all four assignments and will result in achieving the Level 3 Foundation Certificate in People Practice.

The course provides a series of development modules that address knowledge and skills. Teaching is interactive and mostly online via Microsoft Teams, where group work and class discussion feature prominently.


Entry requirements

English and Maths at Level 2 (Level 2 FS or GCSE Grade C or above / 4 or above).

Where the applicant does not meet the course entry requirements - Level 2 or GCSE qualification at grade C/4 or above in maths and/or English, entry will be considered based on previous achievements.


Your next steps...

This qualification prepares you for further studies within the people profession, such as CIPD Level 5 and 7 qualifications. However, progression is not automatic as it depends upon the policy of the higher education establishment you wish to attend.
