Entrants join the CIPD as student members and may apply for graduate membership on successful completion of the Diploma stage. These alter periodically. Please contact the Centre for Personnel Programmes Office for details. Joining the CIPD involves the payment of an entrance fee and an annual subscription. Contact CIPD directly for more information.
Many applicants are self-funding or are sponsored by employers.
These grants are available to those who meet a Scottish residency qualification and who have not already received a grant for a post-graduate vocational course. Nominations are made in the late summer when SAAS funding for the next course is known. Students from Northern Ireland may be able to access funding from the Northern Ireland Library Board. Residents of England and Wales are advised to contact their local education authority. Overseas applicants should make inquiries about financial support in their own countries.
