Aimed at public sector pension professionals, this two year Foundation Degree in Pensions Administration and Management was developed by the CIPP under the auspices of Leeds City College and is validated by Leeds Metropolitan University.

The Foundation Degree in Pensions Administration and Management will be awarded after two years study, and assessments will be by either tutor marked assignments or examination.

Year one aims to address the needs of employees wanting to gain a good understanding of the workings of the Local Government Pension Scheme (“LGPS”) and from the spring of 2012 NHS (other sectors are under review) and provides a good introduction for relatively inexperienced administrators or those who have not been exposed to the breadth of the work of the pensions team.
