All of our students have chosen the Isle of Man International Business School dueto its high academic standards, the excellent level of student support on offerand the benefits of networking with other like-minded professionals.

Our Graduates and AlumniThe number of IBS graduates is constantly growing as students complete theirqualifications. Every year we hold an impressive Graduation Ceremony at StGermans Cathedral in Peel where we celebrate our students successes.

An IBS graduate is a desirable recruit for many of the Islands top companies. AnIBS student has a strong work ethic, prestigious qualifications in vocational businessdisciplines and in many cases, relevant and useful work experience gained throughour work placement scheme.Many of our graduates choose to stay on the Island and impart their knowledgein to the local business community.

What is CPD?CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development, a concept which emphasises

lifelong learning. It proposes that learning is an essential part of professional life.

CPD is about updating and enhancing your knowledge, your skills and competences,

throughout your working life - to help you progress in your career and realise your

full potential.

Many professional bodies, like the Chartered Management Institute, require that

their members undertake a certain number of hours of CPD in order to keep their

status as Chartered Managers, Chartered Marketers, Chartered Accountants etc.

This said, CPD is much broader than attending a formal training course or event

and can include seminars, distance learning, reading, teaching and even accepting

new roles and responsibilities at work.

What CPD does the Business School offer?Studying for a degree or professional qualification, or attending a short course or

workshop, at the Isle of Man International Business School, can all count towardsan individuals CPD but in addition to this, we also offer an ongoing programme

of bite-size, lunchtime CPD seminars.

Our one-hour seminars, on a variety of interesting and motivating subjects, are

a convenient way to contribute to the Continuing Professional Development

requirements of members of the Chartered Management Institute, and other

professional bodies, on the Isle of Man.

Open to all Island residents (whether you belong to a professional body or not),

each lunchtime seminar costs 15 to attend, including a buffet lunch, which is

provided between 12.30pm and 12.45pm, with the seminars starting promptly

at 12.45pm and finishing at 1.45pm.

All delegates are given a pack on arrival - including handouts of the presentation

and a CPD certificate to demonstrate that youve completed one hour of

continuing professional development.

To assure you of the quality of our seminars, the content and learning outcomes

of all CPD presentations at The IBS are mapped against the National Occupational

Standards developed by the Management Standards Centre - the Government-

recognised standards-setting body for the areas of management and leadership.
