Your CISL preferential rate:
At CISL we are committed to providing leading education and thought leadership which enables individuals and leaders to take action within their organisation, to challenge business practice and, in turn, shape markets in ways that incentivise sustainability, rather than penalising it.
As part of that commitment, we are extending a 30% discount to our Network Members, hopefully helping to reduce some barriers for those looking to upskill on leadership practice, functional expertise or sector based knowledge.
In addition, we will be hosting a series of virtual lectures throughout the next few months, offering students on our courses the opportunity to meet the teaching team on a more informal basis, find out more about core topics from the courses and hear how the principles learned thorough our courses can be applied in the real world. Invites to these events will be sent to students when dates are confirmed.
