Four reasons to renew your membership

Continue to enjoy full-text access to over 200 HR, L&D, business and management journals through the EBSCO database, which is included as part of your membership. 

Professional credibility

Your CIPD membership showcases your commitment to professional standards of knowledge, capability and ethical practice. It’s a badge of professionalism that’s valued by employers, clients and recruiters, showing leaders that they can trust you to deliver what’s right for people and organisations.

Continuing professional development 

Use your membership to continue to build your knowledge, skills, confidence and reputation. Your CIPD membership gives you free access to cutting-edge online learning on the CIPD Learning Hub, including all our Essential Insights bite-size learning programmes. The Learning Hub also includes self-assessment and learning reflection tools to help you plan, record and embed your learning effectively.

A thriving global community, ready to help 

The CIPD Community is an online forum which supports CIPD members to connect with peers to solve workplace problems quickly and collaboratively. For almost two decades it’s been a popular place to share knowledge and network. If you haven’t already, download the CIPD Community app from your app store and join the discussions. You’ll be amazed what you can gain from the experience and expertise of your community. 

My membership of the CIPD is extremely important. It ensures that I am up-to-date and relevant with my knowledge.
