Flexible Learning powered by CIPS-e

This is a blended approach to achieving a professional qualification and our full MCIPS membership. You can study at your own pace, wherever is most convenient.

Each level is a qualification in its own right, so you can decide to study at the level that you need.

Flexible Learning powered by CIPS-e delivers our Foundation Diploma level 4, the Advanced Diploma level 5, and the Graduate Diploma level 6.

Find out more about the unit content for each level.

If you have passed, or are exempt from 5 units at levels 4, 5 and 6 and have 3 years' relevant work experience you will gain full MCIPS membership.

We have two intake dates per year for each level in May and November. Each level runs for 12 months and prepares you for our examinations in the following May and November.

Your self study is supported by:

• Interactive online e-learning units
• An online tutor available to answer course related queries throughout the duration of the programme.
• Exclusive access to CIPS Knowledge Bytes, providing bite size chunks of knowledge for the professional practitioner to further complement their study material.
• 3 UK based two-day workshops (Friday/Saturday) for each level led by our approved, professionally qualified, training consultants.
• Course book for each unit with study planners.
• Optional assignments.

Please note that you must be registered as a member to attend the programme.
