As a student member, there are many resources available for you to learn from and use in your road to acing your qualifications: 

• Access to a library of more than 200 HR, L&D and business journals from EBSCO. 
• Content available exclusively to members, such as helpful factsheets, tools and guides relating to up-to-date research and trends. 
• A student member area that ties all the relevant resources and support together for you to use while studying. 

Networking Opportunities for CIPD Student Members 

Another great benefit to being a student CIPD member is the access to a network of other likeminded students. 

• A student community forum in which you can connect with your peers. 
• A member-to-member programme through which you can receive mentorship from other experts in the community.

Why does a CIPD Student Membership matter? 

With all the added benefits and resources available at your fingertips, a student membership provides you with the perfect starting point for your career in HR and L&D. 

The knowledge and skills learned from the resources, networks and textbooks will not only help you to complete any of our CIPD courses, but they will help you in your job in HR and L&D as well. 

Getting a certificate also opens further benefits in the form of a higher earning potential of up to 12%, reduced redundancies and more. 

And from there you can continue to develop until eventually reaching MCIPD or FCIPD status, each of which come with their own benefits. 

The student membership gives you a great foundation to grow from, as the above has helped make clear.
