Due to popular demand from our students, we will continue to offer online learning for the full range of our CIPS courses and Apprenticeships. The ease and convenience of having online learning wherever you are based means that these courses are in high demand. Students attend a live classroom session with their peers and the class is a close replication of a face-to-face session including small group learning opportunities. There are 5 to 6 tuition sessions and a revision session per module, followed by an exam. The exams can be taken in our exam centre in Swindon, at an alternative exam centre close to you if there isn’t a CIPS exam centre near you, online through CIPS remote invigilation.
Learners are provided with recordings of short tutorials, learning materials and learning exercises to guide them through the course material, and with ongoing access to online tutor support.
Choosing distance learning very much depends on the level of support required by you as an individual and the time you have available to study.
On-site delivery for cohorts can be tailored to your specific organisations needs. We can provide full or half day sessions on a flexible basis.
I wanted to say thanks to Ian and Anne for all the help and lessons over the years, I wouldn’t have got through this without them and I genuinely enjoyed. It’s really helped me in my role and I have taken a lot from it In my day to day work.

APA have provided outstanding support and direction throughout the levels of qualifications, from structured lessons, engaging group discussions, comprehensive training notes and focused revision and support for each exam. This has allowed me to achieve amazing results which I am sure would have been so much more difficult to achieve through a self- study programme.
APA have given me the building blocks of the skills and knowledge that I am already seeing is strengthening my career and which will only go from strength to strength once I have gained my chartered status.
