CIPD Bursary Trust
Overview
Every year, we work with the CIPD Bursary Trust, to support eligible, entry-level talent to apply for CIPD Bursary Awards, to fund their CIPD Foundation Qualification.
This is an excellent initiative driven by the CIPD to support people from all backgrounds to kick-start their careers in HR.
The Trust Fund opens every year, for a limited period of time and is open now – so if you think you may be eligible, now is the time to apply!
How to apply
In 2024-25, our successful applicants received 100% funding for their CIPD qualification. We offer the Trust an inbuilt discount to help spread the fund a little further and build tailored programmes around each individual leaner’s needs, as they prefer. We were delighted to play a small part in encouraging passionate new talent to enter the people profession last year, and look forward to doing so again in 2025-26.
Student Care
You are never just a number to us.
The care that we offer our students really sets us apart from the competition.
It can be demoralising and frustrating if you feel that you are studying without the support you need. We want you to enjoy studying with us, so we offer two types of help through our Student Care:
- If you have technical challenges, questions about accessing material online, or need to talk about a change in circumstances that is affecting your studies, we have a Student Care Team and your personal Student Success Adviser who you can turn to for help.
- If you have questions about the work itself, a Programme Manager will be available to support you via email or an arranged call.
Our Student Care service is available to all our students on Essential, Professional and Immersive Plans.
I can honestly say choosing Busec Nova for my CIPD Level 5 has been one of the best decisions of my career. The support has been incredible. The team have gone out of their way time and time again, adapting every possible learning and development method to support me with my dyslexia and making sure I never felt left behind . Their belief has given me the confidence to push through and achieve something I didn't think was possible.
