Certificate Programmes - Dates for 2005

We have set our dates for the popular Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Certificate Programmes in Personnel - the Certificate of Personnel Practice (CPP) and in Training - the Certificate in Training Practice (CTP). These programmes are extremely practical and provide an excellent foundation for a career in Human Resources. They are very cost effective in terms of time away from work as there are only 9 days for the CPP and 10 days for the CTP. Most of the theory is covered by open learning workbooks leaving time to develop skills during the tutorials. Click here for the dates www.csgconsult.com/qualifications/certs.html
