The Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) Sri Lanka has become the first in the country to offer Human Resource Management (HRM) courses equivalent to National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) standards. CIPM’s Diploma in Professional HRM (CQHRM Level 2) and Diploma in HRM (PQHRM Managerial Level) have been officially recognized as NVQ Level 5 qualifications by the Tertiary and Vocational Education Commission (TVEC).

This significant achievement was formalized in December 2024 through an official declaration between CIPM and TVEC. The NVQ equivalence applies to students who completed the Diploma in Professional HRM from 2020 onwards and the Diploma in HRM from 2016 onwards, ensuring that both current and past students benefit from nationally recognized qualifications.

CIPM’s commitment to aligning its programs with Sri Lanka’s National Qualifications Framework enhances the value and relevance of its HRM courses. This recognition not only boosts CIPM’s academic reputation but also solidifies its role as a leader in HRM education in Sri Lanka. By meeting industry standards, CIPM supports the professional growth of HRM practitioners, providing them with qualifications that are both nationally and internationally recognized.

This milestone reflects CIPM’s dedication to academic excellence and its proactive approach in adapting to educational standards that meet the evolving needs of the HR industry. Students and professionals pursuing HRM studies at CIPM can now be assured of the quality and national recognition of their qualifications, enhancing their career prospects both locally and abroad.
