As we move forward, we in Cambridge Global Learning (CGL-UK) support many of our organizational members, such as academies and colleges who are turning towards the use of more online learning. We are doing this by helping them get their new programmes accredited for better recognition.

The Oxbridge Institute of Professional Development (OIPD-UK) has now taken CGL-UK under its umbrella from the CREDO Trust in Ireland. So, we are once again back in the UK. As a result, I have also been appointed as OIPD’s Patron. I am honoured by this and look forward to a synergistic relationship between CGL and OIPD. This has enabled CGL-UK members to save costs and speed up the accreditation by OIPD of their certification courses.

This was indeed splendid news for many of our new members. What also is worthy news for our many graduates from various professional certification programmes, is that they can now apply to get a professional doctoral level membership award from the Oxbridge Institute of Professional Development (OIPD-UK). I must recognise that some of our members have already been awarded a professional Doctorate Fellowship and many have signed up for our other awards, such as a Post-Doctoral Research Professorship.

Let me conclude here, on a note of optimism, that this current problem with COVID-19 has not totally upset the need to continue learning, training and professional development, albeit with a greater emphasis on remote learning. Now we can save time and cost from travelling and hiring training venues and yet receive quality certified courses. The Learning and Development profession will continue with human capital development.

To all those in the profession of enhancing and facilitating learning, please keep up your noble contribution in the talent ecosystem.

Yours Sincerely,

Kevin Couling
Lord of Little Neston cum Hargrave
Chairman Cambridge Global Learning
