The CIPD Professional Development Scheme
The CIPD qualification - the Professional Development Scheme (PDS) - is the number 1 professional qualification for HR and development professionals. It provides an excellent base for developing a career in HR and people management. It is based on the CIPD's Professional Standards and successful completion leads to Graduate membership of the CIPD.
CIPD Flexible Learning
Studying for a professional qualification is not easy when you are working full time, especially when you need to attend regular part-time or day release courses at college.
CIPD Flexible Learning has been designed as a route to the CIPD Professional Development Scheme for people who need to combine work and study.
You learn in your own time. There are no twice-weekly trips to college, you benefit from the convenience of studying in your own time and space. The format of the materials means that learning is manageable and achievable, so you can pick it up wherever and whenever you want. You're in control.
But this is not a distance learning programme
You'll be supported every step of the way. There are workshops and group tutorials every 4-6 weeks to help you consolidate your learning and provide direction. Your tutors are also on hand to help by phone or email whenever you need them.
You will also build a network of students, like minded peers, who you can call on whenever you need to.
