Student Member

Student Membership shows you’re committed to your professional future. It gives you the strength of CIPD support for your study success, and works with CIPD qualifications to put you on the path to professional recognition.

As a Student Member, you’ll be equipped for study success. You’ll benefit from professional content, study guides, and tips for your assessments. You’ll be part of the CIPD community where you can network and learn from the experience of senior professionals, as well as connect with fellow Student Members for friendly support.

This grade could be for you if …

• you’re currently studying or are about to study a CIPD qualification
• you may be looking for your first role in the people profession, or you could already be working within a people team
• you could be working full or part-time alongside your studies

When you complete your studies, you’ll become a Foundation Member or Associate Member.
