The Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management is aimed at intensifying your autonomy and judgement to empower you to strategically lead, influence and direct your organisation and its people. This qualification will support you to develop a depth and breadth of understanding of people practice and management and the insight and strategy development skills required to operate and lead your organisation into the future.

At Chesterfield College we recognise the talent and experience that you already have and the wealth of knowledge that you bring to the table. Whilst theory and case study is an important part of this course we also embrace class discussions during which we consider together what the theory looks like in real life and how we can apply it in our own roles. This will provide you with the opportunity to share and develop best practice with people professionals working within a range of sectors, large and small.

Whether talking and studying together over Teams or in person at the college, our classes are always upbeat, interactive and fun. By sharing this journey with other like-minded people professionals you benefit from greater insight and a network of support from other students which often continues well after your study ends.

Our learning provision is always led by a tutor in person via our online meeting room portal or face to face at college.

The cost of this course is £5,225.
