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

Could not fault Joseph, he was amazing!

I have been extremely disappointed with my experience with my Foundation HR Course. I paid £1890 for the course, with the first payment made on 21/2/22. on then started with Watson Martin on the 2/3/22. I was assigned to Leanne Bucknor. She was lovely, we had a couple fabulous chats on zoom for Module 1 and Module 2 and it was a great start. Reed Learning then took over. I submitted my first draft for Module 3 in September of 2022. Unfortunately the 2021 versions of assignments (which I downloaded at the start of working on Module 3) were no longer available to submit so then had to make changes to the content. I resubmitted in November 2022. In January 2023 I submitted Module 4 and was only then found out my consultant changed. I was unaware of this as likely the email went into junk. My new Consultant Davina, has not been well this year I understand, so appreciate things got held up. However I submitted Module 3 (again, as it obviously hadn't been submitted for verification and was now required in a different format) and Module 4 in February 2023. Finally in August (6 months later) I heard that I passed. This course has taken far longer to complete than it should have, taking away the satisfaction of completion that I should feel.

Fantastic workshop, great pace and understanding plus very welcoming of people’s viewpoints.

Super helpful, clear and informative. Group breakouts kept us engaged.

Such a great course! Lucy was so clear and concise in her delivery. Lots of time for interaction and discussions which I find most useful!

Great session and very well delivered. I really love how encouraging Lucy is in person as a tutor and as a trainer.

Fiona delivered the workshop very well and she is very knowledgeable

Fiona really put everyone at ease and it was a great friendly atmosphere. Great as the group was smaller

Joseph was VERY welcoming, let us have discussions about the subject matter, provided expect support to our questions and managed our understanding well. I was slightly nervous coming into the session as my first CIPD webinar but now can't wait for the next one.

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.
