Student Programmes

Three pathways into financial services.

Three 12-month, CHE-accredited qualifications, all built by the specialists the sector has counted on for 25 years. We design them with the banks, insurers and broker networks that hire from them, which is why their HR teams already recognise these credentials by name, and why a CPS graduate gets shortlisted where a generic one gets put aside. A banking foundation, a business banking specialisation, and a leadership credential. Pick the one that fits where you want to land.
