Open programme calendar

Scheduled cohorts in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh, open to individuals and to organisations sending a small number of people.

Participants carrying folders arrive through a bright lobby, where a staff member hands out materials at a desk.

012026 calendar

The full 2026 schedule is being finalised.

Qualification cohorts for CIPD, CIPS and CMI open at fixed points through the year and are built backwards from the awarding body's assessment and examination windows. Short courses run monthly across the fifteen categories.

Tell us which programme you are considering and we will send the next three available start dates, the fee, and an honest view of whether that level is the right entry point for you.

02What to expect

Cohort size

Qualification cohorts are capped so that every learner gets individual assignment feedback. Short courses run to a size that keeps practice sessions workable.

Timing

Long qualifications run on weekday evenings and weekends for people in full-time roles. Short courses run during the working week.

Materials

Institute materials, digital resources and, where the awarding body provides it, membership for the duration of study.

Support after the room

Tutorial sessions, assignment clinics and examination revision are scheduled into the programme rather than sold as an extra.
