CIPFA prize winners list populated by CIPFA Education and Training Centre students
The CIPFA Education and Training Centre produced an impressive seven out of the ten prizewinning students of the 2009 CIPFA Professional Qualification Final Test exams. Prize winners were presented with their special awards at a lunch held at CIPFA’s head office on Wednesday 28th April.
The prizes are awarded to students who have completed the Final Test of Professional Competence and, subject to the completion of the Initial Professional Development Scheme, are now eligible for CIPFA membership.
The winners work across the public services, in local government, central government, health and audit firms. One prizewinning student clearly enjoyed her studies – Alison Zimmer now works as a trainer for the CIPFA Education and Training Centre!
CIPFA President Roger Latham said: ‘All of these prize winners deserve our warmest congratulations as we recognise their hard work and dedication to their training. As the public services face unprecedented difficulties, their skills will be in great demand.’
