Once you have decided that the educational route to membership is the best route for you, you need to choose what course you want to study and how you want to study it.
You can choose to study:
- at a CIPD approved centre - our network of centres offer a range of full-time or part-time programmes. All of which lead to a grade of CIPD membership.
- by flexible learning - you can learn in your own time. A network of flexible learning providers, including CIPD Enterprises, offer the Professional Development Scheme and other CIPD qualifications.
