Face-to-Face Classrooms

We currently deliver a flexible, supportive face-to-face approach to learning from our London training location, Mary Ward House Conference and Exhibition Centre.

How It Works 

You will study your CIPD qualification in person with us - one evening a week, per module, over the course of three weeks - according to the workshop dates available on our flexible classroom timetable.

There are no bookings required after you enrol, simply show up and begin learning as you would in any other classroom environment.

Please note, however, that if you miss one of your in-person workshops, it is your responsibility to catch up on your own time or the following week. 


Please keep in mind that, at present, we offer face-to-face learning only for those looking to earn a CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management
