CIPD Applied Personnel and Development (APD)

Applied Personnel and Development is one of the four fields that you need to complete to obtain CIPD Graduate membership, and is often the final field our students will complete.

This programme is all about putting your learning from the previous fields into practice by producing a 9,000 word management report which researches a significant business issue.

We recommend you study APD and PMD together as this allows an earlier completion to your studies. This is a result of an element of home study for APD which can be undertaken along with the PMD workload.

Learning materials, workshops, case studies etc can all be customised within the overall course framework to give greater relevance to the specific workplace.
