Cambria Business School earns prestigious CIPD Platinum Centre status
Cambria Business School has achieved a major milestone in professional education by becoming an approved Platinum Centre provider of CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) qualifications, placing it among the top providers of HR and people management training in the UK.
The prestigious Platinum Centre status recognises institutions that consistently deliver high-quality teaching, assessment, and learner support aligned with CIPD’s rigorous standards. It also reflects strong administrative operations and high levels of learner satisfaction.
Jane Keys, Assistant Principal for Employer Engagement at Coleg Cambria, hailed the recognition as a significant achievement for the school and its staff.
“We are incredibly proud to be an approved Platinum Centre provider of CIPD courses,” she said. “This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence and the wealth of industry experience our lecturers bring to the classroom. Special credit goes to Susan Hughes and Jeanette Edwards, who played a major role in securing this status.”
Cambria Business School, based at the college’s Northop campus, offers CIPD-accredited qualifications including the CIPD Level 3 Foundation Certificate in People Practice and the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management. These programmes are designed to support current and aspiring HR professionals, managers, and business leaders as they progress in their careers.

Susan Hughes, HR Lecturer at the school, called the Platinum status a unique selling point for the institution.
“To be among the select few CIPD providers with Platinum Centre status is a fantastic honour and an attractive proposition for learners,” she said. “It highlights the strength of our provision and reinforces our reputation as a leading centre for professional education in north east Wales and beyond.”
Part of Coleg Cambria, which also operates campuses in Wrexham, Llysfasi, and Deeside, the business school has become a key hub for developing HR talent across the region.
The CIPD, with more than 160,000 members worldwide, is the professional body for HR, learning and development, and organisational change. With a century-long legacy, it plays a central role in advancing good work and better workplaces globally.
Cambria’s Platinum accreditation enhances the region’s growing reputation for high-quality skills training and underlines the college’s role in supporting local employers and workforce development.
