CIPD Associate Diploma in People Management or Organisational Learning and Development (Level 5) Reviews

this is the last of my core modules and I feel that there is a real change in this one - I experienced this at the start of my course where a Level 7 tutor stepped in for the afternoon and the change from Level 5 to 7 is so noticeable, and problematic. Whilst the lecturer clearly had a wealth of knowledge and we covered a lot - I don't feel particularly well directed in how to answer the questions. referring to the candidate guidance is a much more directed way of working & there was no mention of this in the session. Likewise, not using Jam boards means I have nothing tangible to take away from the learning points that weren't from my breakout groups - in this case, whole topic points. there were some people on the day today that this is their first module - I would be totally lost and petrified if I were them & its because we've been delivered the topic at Level 7 expectations. I have no real contact with my tutor so I can only hope they do and they can get guidance on things such as not spending massive amounts of word count on 'Explain' questions - despite spending tons of time in session today on those points.

Lorraine has been an absolutely fantastic supervisor. She is knowledgeable and talks through concepts really well - most of the time, once I'd spoken to Lorraine, I understood completely! She is warm and approachable and definitely went above and beyond in offering check-ins and 121s - even if just for the odd 15 minutes to chat something through. I genuinely believe that She has been instrumental in my getting through the course so quickly as she was encouraging, but didn't nag. I will really miss her!!!!

Lorraine is a brilliant trainer - she is knowledgeable and engaging, and I always look forward to her sessions. The group activities work really well and produce engaging discussions.

This was my favourite of all the workshops I've been to so far! Lucy was so engaging and knowledgeable, and so conscious of people's energy levels and structured the day accordingly. Thank you!

Really helpful in understanding the requirements of Task 2 for the assignment

Really enjoy how Lorraine delivers her courses, very well planned with lots of discussion and breakout activities which are actually useful when it comes to the assignments.

Lorraine was brilliant! She was engaging and extremely knowledgeable. The workshop was fun and interactive, and generated some great conversations and ideas.

Lorraine is an amazing tutor, has a massive knowledge on the presented subjects and makes the training enjoyable and interactive

Really useful, thank you

This is my 4th course and has been the best one so far for me. I felt fully engaged, the flow and pace was just right and the breakout sessions were really useful.
