Who pays for your CIPD costs?

We would usually fund something like this but it is expensive so we would have a Learning Agreement in place with it. I worked in the public sector before and they wouldn't fund anything and time off for studying had to be made up - I always thought it was very tight of them to not offer some sort of assistance towards it because its them who ultimately benefit from employees who gain extra skills or knowledge from their studies (or they risk losing good people once qualified). I didn't self fund and therefore have only ever done Level 3 (some years ago) but I don't feel it has especially hindered my learning or career progression not completing Level 7. Maybe one day!

For general membership and access to the online resources, the magazine and most of all, "communities" this is paid for by my company.
