Past CIPS students
During 2005 we enrolled students from many different backgrounds and from all around the world. You can see how they've done on our exam results page.
Anyone, anywhere, can study with us. In 2005 we enrolled students from Canada to Australia; China to Barbados; Botswana to Spain; from Ghana, India, Egypt, Seychelles, Malaysia, Kuwait, Tanzania and Kazakhstan, as well as all points between Cornwall and Orkney. We also had students who were members of British Forces posted overseas.
Students enrol with us for many different reasons: people in their first job after university looking for professional qualifications, career changers, people looking to set up in business for themselves, people learning new skills, people confirming their job experience with qualifications, as well as people who are simply following one of their interests.
Many of our students have their studies sponsored by their employers. In 2005 we supplied training to a large variety of UK and overseas organisations, public institutions, service providers, utilities, retailers, and manufacturers, including Anglian Water, Argyll and Bute Council, BBC Wales, BP Egypt, Ecclesiastical Insurance, Hewlett Packard, Lotus Cars, Malta International Airport, Orange, Organic Brands, Noble’s Hospital (Isle of Man), P & O Nedlloyd, Philips Electonics, Spitalfields Festival, Telewest, University of Durham, VisitScotland, and Worcestershire County Cricket Club.
All sorts of organisations from the smallest to the largest, in all sectors and locations, sponsor students to study with us. You can read more on our clients page.
Our students are generally happy with the service they get, too. We ask our students to fill out a questionnaire when they've completed their studies. From the questionnaires submitted by students who finished their studies in 2003:
- 94% were satisfied with the help they received when they contacted the College,
- 92% found their tutor helpful,
- 94% received useful feedback on their coursework,
- 91% felt the course was good value, and
- 89% felt ready to sit their exam.
Students felt that we compared well with traditional attendance-based courses, too:
- 90% felt their course was better than a traditional-type one.
