Who pays for your CIPD costs?

Celia

Hi All

I am trying to find out the following: if your company has contributed towards the cost of your CIPD course or if they paid half, part or all of it?

Just trying to get an idea of bench-mark, the CIPD schools/centers dont have this information.

Thanks

  • I did my CPP quite a few years ago now.  I negotiated with my employer on joining that they would pay the fees. It was a charity and it was cheaper for them to pay for the training course, mileage and parking than it was to pay a higher salary so it worked out well for both of us.

    The CPP was on a Wednesday afternoon and I got paid time off to attend.  Obviously all assignments etc. were done in my own time. 

    When I started my full CIPD qualification I did one module during working hours and one module in the evening.  After the first year of this course I joined another company and negotiated the same deal, but they put in a claw-back clause (which the charity didn't).

    My employers have always paid my CIPD membership fees.

    My current employer funds a certain number of people going through qualifications each year as it's so expensive (I think it's 2 or 3) and it does need to be related to their role, so HR Admin might get the CPP but not the full CIPD approved.  It's all done within their own time.  Some people pay for the course themselves as they don't want to wait to see if they'll get funding approved.

    So, I've been very very lucky!
