Eastern Europe CIPD Programme Update

Our first newsletter of 2009 appears at a time when due to global recession, there is still great uncertainty in almost every market around the world.  However, a major positive, as far as we are concerned, is that businesses and organizations throughout Europe are even more focused on the benefits of providing training and development programmes for their HR specialists. 

This means that 2009 will be our most successful year ever as we attract more students than ever before to our training centre in Bulgaria.  This further underlines the desire of HR Professionals in Eastern Europe to become experts in their fields.

Janine Bunning, CEO of the Oakwood Group comments that – "The CIPD continues to be recognized as the ‘must have’ qualification for aspiring HR personnel and Oakwood remain the best CIPD training provider in Eastern Europe with a training a centre in Bulgaria"
