What makes us so special?

We feel it's the quality of the students and members we attract, the integrity of the qualifications we offer, and the reach of the employer networks that we have.

Above all, it's our people who create our unique culture. You can see from our history timeline how we've innovated and changed over the years, but we always stay true to our values, and that makes us a great place to work.

We offer a fast-paced working environment where people with ambition and drive flourish. The world changes quickly, and we need to be constantly alert to trends, anticipating change and adapting so that we're always offering our members and students the very best.
