What you could study next
A level 2 equality and diversity qualification can lead into several further courses. You could study a Level 3 Award or Certificate in Equality and Diversity for a deeper understanding. If you're moving into people management, a Level 3 CIPD Foundation Certificate in People Practice covers equality as part of broader HR practice. For those working in health and social care, a Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care builds on the equality knowledge you've gained here.
