Funding & Payment Options

We want to make professional study accessible. You can fund your CIPS qualification in several ways:

  • If you’re currently employed, you may be able to complete your CIPS Level 3 or Level 4 qualification fully funded through an Apprenticeship. This means your employer covers the cost through government funding.

  • Learners aged 19+ can apply for a government-backed Advanced Learner Loan to cover the full cost of their CIPS Level 3 or 4 course. You won’t need to pay anything upfront, and you’ll only start repaying once your income is above the repayment threshold.

  • For learners not using an Apprenticeship or Loan, we offer flexible payment plans:

    • Pay in monthly instalments

    • Spread the cost to make study affordable alongside work

How are the Courses Delivered?
