The CPD Solutions Commitment

We know a PgCert is a big step in terms of time, dedication, and investment. That’s why we created The CPD Solutions Commitment.

If, after your first attendance session, you decide a PgCert isn’t right for you, we’ll credit the balance of your investment towards any other CPD Solutions training — from Practical Courses and Online CPD to Webinar Club Memberships and OnTrack programmes.

(This applies to the CPD Solutions PgCert fee only, not the separate University Registration Fee.)

You can take your next step with confidence, knowing your career development is fully supported.
