The Oxbridge Institute of Professional Development (OIPD-UK), established under the Oxbridge Institute Trust (XCTRUST80159755), derives its constitutional authority from the Trust’s Statutes and Deed. OIPD is a UK-registered Professional Body and is formally listed with the UK Register of Learning Providers (UKRLP No. 10096989). Its International Professional Qualifications are published annually in the British Professional Qualifications Handbook, a recognized reference by the UK Government.

OIPD offers a suite of Professional Awards benchmarked against the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). These professional qualifications are designed for mature, highly skilled candidates with substantial industry experience. Entry into OIPD Professional Award pathway begins with an Accredited Prior Experiential Learning (APEL) assessment, also known as Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). This process, widely used by government ministries and agencies, allows candidates to submit their portfolio of professional achievements together with accumulated Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credits. The greater the breadth and depth of professional experience, the higher the accumulation of credits contributing toward eligibility for a Professional Award.

Quality and standards are safeguarded by the OIPD Board of International Assessors, a distinguished panel of highly qualified professionals representing 18 countries worldwide. Their role is to ensure the consistency, integrity, and professional rigour of OIPD qualifications.

Through its professional awards, global recognition, and progression pathways, OIPD provides experienced professionals with formal acknowledgement of their expertise, and for those who wish to advance academically, progression routes with partner universities that may allow credit exemptions toward completing an academic DBA or PhD through the thesis/dissertation route.
