The Chartered Institute of Payroll Professionals

Learning and Development

The role of payroll and pension professionals is constantly changing, and there is a need to keep up to date with developments in legislation and technology that impact on these departments on a daily basis.

The CIPP has an extensive learning and development programme to suit all individuals working in payroll or public sector pensions, whether you are new to the industry or have been around for years!

Our methods of learning and development vary from online delivery, face to face teaching, in-company training, conferences, or a mixture of all of these.  This is because the best way of learning is through a style that suits you.

Because the CIPP’s Policy and Research team sit on over 60 government consultation forums, you can also be sure that the CIPP’s training programme is the most up to date in the market, and delegates on our training courses benefit from three months trial membership of the CIPP to keep their knowledge up to date and provide access to the Advisory Service after the course.

Why choose the CIPP?

The CIPP is the only professional body for individuals working in payroll in the UK, and has a dedicated Pensions Faculty for public sector pension professionals, and as such has a unique position within government which allows us to lobby on behalf of our members, as well as provide all our members and course delegates with the most up to date information on changed legislation, and proposed changes!

What’s new for 2012?

• Training courses on new legislation which is being introduced in 2012;

How will I know which course, or delivery method, is right for me?

Our courses are split by course type, whether they are beginners courses, or courses which provide legislative updates so you can easily find the course for you.

We now offer online learning which has been developed following research in the industry the suggests this is the preferred style of learning for some individuals who can not attend face to face training.
