CIPFA Diploma In Finance Business Partnering

About this event

The CIPFA Diploma in Finance Business Partnering is completed over approximately ten months. It includes four days of virtual classroom learning and approximately 100 hours of additional work to complete course reading and assessment requirements.

The classroom learning is delivered online. You will be provided with a link to join each workshop. Our trainer will be there to greet you and the other delegates, and we aim to deliver just as we would if everyone was together in a physical training room. For best results, we recommend the use of webcams.

Your trainers will be available throughout the programme to provide support. You will have access to recordings of all module presentations, and we will arrange online group clinic sessions during the course.
