Is it worth it?
Is it worth the investment? 12% more per year over the rest of your career? Multiply that out over 10 or 20 years. It’s a lot of work to achieve your CIPD qualification but we think it’s worth the investment. We actually believe it can be worth a lot more than that with how we deliver the qualifications because not only will you be achieving your CIPD qualification but you will be connecting with other people professionals, gaining in depth feedback and really building on your knowledge, skiils and behaviours. We want you to succeed and our students are getting results in terms of their career development.

- making an impact
