Speaking of his appointment and the future of the CIPP, Jason stated: “I am truly honoured to have been voted into the position of vice chair at the CIPP, working alongside Eira and the rest of the board. This is an exciting time for the CIPP as we have a new direction and leadership, completely focussed on the improvement of education service and quality for our members and organisational clients.” CIPP gold at professional awards THE CHARTERED Institute has achieved gold, picking up a total of four awards, at the International Association of Bookkeepers (IAB) and International Association of Administrative Professionals (IAAP) awards which took place at the House of Commons on 8 December. The awards were presented by IAB patron Lord Dykes and Jila, vice chair of the IAB council. The awards recognise education providers, as well as payroll professionals and book- keepers who have made an outstanding contribution to the industry over the last twelve months. The CIPP was awarded a gold centre award based on the success rates of those studying with the CIPP to complete IAB accredited qualifications. Speaking about the award, Jason Clark, operations manager for the professional careers academy commented: “The CIPP is absolutely delighted with the achievement of the Gold Centre award 2016. The team are all committed to excellent education delivery and high quality standards

and achieving this award shows that we are delivering just that, making all the hard work worth it.” Malcolm Trotter, chief executive of the IAB, said: “The CIPP in particular encompasses the exceptional qualities and skills we expect of our qualification centres. Its Gold Centre status symbolises excellence within the educational sector and is well deserved”. In addition, the CIPP had successes through two of our payroll apprentices – Lauren Coles and Luke Concannon – who were both awarded the Apprentice of the Year award, and through CIPP board director, Karen Thomson MSc FCIPPdip who was awarded the Payroll Professional of the Year.
