How Much Does CIPD Cost Internationally?

You can study for the CIPD from anywhere in the world, but the fee will change depending on where and how you do it. Don't worry, though; we've still got you covered.

Studying Online or in a Classroom

The cost of your CIPD course can be significantly influenced by the method of study you select. For instance, classroom tuition is more expensive than online education.

Aside from cost, you should also think about your learning style and what will mesh well with your commitments while choosing a mode of education. If you have a family or a full-time job, learning online can often be much more flexible than in a traditional classroom setting.

Nevertheless, if you prefer a more structured learning environment, you could find it difficult to stay motivated in a self-led environment.
