Our Awards
The Oxbridge Institute of Professional Development (OIPD) UK is a global, non-profit, professional membership body, providing awards for its members, up to the equivalent of level 9 of the UK Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). Awards include: TVET, Professional Certification, a Professional Specialist Doctorate (DRS) or a Professional Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) with the grade of Life Principal Fellow, and a Post-Doctoral Senior Research Fellowship, carrying the title of Professor. We are not associated with any University and do not offer academic degrees – only Professional Awards.
OIPD has a mission to help individual members fulfil their career ambitions through recognizing and rewarding competence and experience. We use APEL (Accredited Prior Experiential Learning) & CPD (Continuous Professional Development) credits or a Portfolio approach, as well as a Viva, to assess the level of achievement required for each award. OIPD has a diverse Board of 20 eminently qualified Assessors and Career Counsellors from 18 countries, most of whom have a Doctorate, with over 30 – 40 years of experience, having authored books on education, learning and development.
