You will study for 3 hours every Wednesday evening from 6pm – 9pm and spend around 3 hours writing up your assignment by the following week.

Contigo is committed to keeping your fees as low as possible and to avoid any hidden extras.

Remember to compare like with like – some ‘Online-only’ courses may offer a lower fee but they will not provide you with the amount of hands-on tutorship that Contigo will and they are likely to make you pay your own CIPD fees.

Our ALL-INCLUSIVE 18 month LIVE-Online programme costs just £2,995+VAT.

If you’re paying for your course yourself, you can spread the cost over 6 months and you won’t pay any extra – we don’t charge interest.

If your employer is paying for your course, simply ask them to write a letter on company headed note paper and send it to lara@contigoassociates.com and she will invoice them for your course fee.

Remember – your Contigo course fee also includes your CIPD Student Membership Fees. No hidden extras! Promise 😊!

If you still have questions, please call us on 0333 533 0503 – we would love to hear from you.

Contigo doesn’t believe in Online courses. We believe education should be more engaging than just sitting in front of a computer, reading and completing online content.

BETTER THAN ONLINE

We know from experience that online courses sound great, but they can be quite a lonely affair. Some ‘Online-only’ course providers even offer a handful of virtual workshops to soften the blow – but we do things VERY DIFFERENTLY.

Contigo is a Spanish word and, true to our name, our method of qualification delivery is uniquely engaging. We know many people struggle with ‘online’ courses because they require such discipline to study alone in front of a computer.

So we have changed things up. ‘Contigo means ‘with you’ and that means we will be with you for 3 hours EVERY WEEK to GUARANTEE you pass your qualification – OR YOUR MONEY BACK*

*As long as you attend all the classes and submit the required homework, we GUARANTEE you will pass your CIPD qualification, or we will refund 100% of your course fee.

What’s not to like? You and a group of 10-20 classmates…a weekly evening class from 6pm – 9pm on a Wednesday evening for 18 months. No exams! and a GUARANTEED pass OR YOUR MONEY BACK*!

Good News – There are no exams!!!!  Nope, not one!

After each weekly class you attend, you will be invited to write up approximately 500 words (about 1-page of a word-document) by the following week. The content will relate to what you have learned that week.

These 500-word essays will join together to form your assignment for each Unit (on average 7 essays = 1 assignment). There are 7 Units in total spread throughout the 18 month course.

You will email each assignment to your Expert HR Tutor and they will arrange for your work to be marked by our assessors and then moderated by the CIPD.

And don’t worry – if you don’t pass an assignment first time, you’ll be able to have up to 2 more attempts, guided by very specific written feedback and advice for how to improve your answer so you pass.

Remember, no other provider in the UK offers a GUARNTEED PASS OR YOUR MONEY BACK*. Contigo is with you

*As long as you attend all the classes and submit the required homework, we GUARANTEE you will pass your CIPD qualification, or we will refund 100% of your course fee.
