Student Membership

What is Student Membership?

While you are studying for a CIPD qualification, Student Membership gives you full access to member benefits and resources to support you during your studies. You can use these resources to support you on your qualification journey, build your skills and knowledge of the profession while you learn, access career support and use our member discounts.

What's included with your Student Membership:

• 40% discount on textbooks designed specifically to support students while studying for their CIPD qualification.
• Network with peers in the student community forum.
• Receive mentorship from experts through our exclusive member to member programme.
• A library of over 200 leading HR, L&D, business and management journals provided by EBSCO.
• Access to exclusive member content including guides, tools and factsheets to help you stay informed with the latest trends and research.
• Connect and learn with experts and peers at local and national events including the CIPD student conference.
• Dedicated Student member area that brings together relevant resources and support throughout your studies.
• Exclusive member discounts on partner products and services.

How do I sign up for Student Membership?

Once you've enrolled onto a CIPD qualification via one of our study centres, we will send you an email asking you to sign up for Student Membership.

You will then be asked to set up a membership account via our online portal and register as a student member. 

Student membership fees are 40% less than the cost of Associate membership.



Note: All membership levels require payment of a one-off joining fee of £40 or €46 
which is paid when you first become a member or when you rejoin membership after letting it lapse.
