What is ‘Rewards’?

‘Rewards’ is Keele University’s way of saying ‘thank you’ to businesses that choose us for their continuing professional development (CPD) training needs. It is a suite of ‘rewards’ that businesses can redeem from the University, either during the time of their CPD training or up to three-months after the training has been completed.

Who is eligible for Rewards?

Any business, large or small, who takes up one or more of our continuing professional development (CPD) training courses, is eligible for Rewards. This includes a tailor-made short course specifically for your business needs or one of our off-the-shelf accredited courses such as our Postgraduate Certificate in Leadership & Management.

Note: Rewards must be redeemed from the University during the time of the CPD training or up to three-months after the training.
