CIPD Foundation Certificate in People Practice (Level 3) Reviews

i thought the course was excellent, however I think it would have been better delivered in two parts. Firstly an agenda with scheduled breaks would have been good. Secondly there was a lot of information to take in and I noticed a number of candidates, including myself, were finding it difficult to continue to concentrate and take it all in. Also when we did get a 15 minute break of a 45 minute lunch break, I had to fit in doing my day job urgent tasks in that time as well as taking a comfort break. Finally when we finished yesterday I was raring to get started on the task so spent my evening doing a first draft on the first task. However, we still have a second task to do and the information isn't quite so fresh in my head today. If the workshop had been delivered in two parts, we could have had the first session in the morning, done the day job in the afternoon and worked on the first draft of the first task in the evening. Similarly if the second part of yesterday had been delivered on another day, I could have got on with that task the same day whilst the information was still fresh in my mind and the huge motivation to get on with it is there. Today, all the non urgent day job tasks are waiting for me along with all of today's events and emails, so it will be at least the weekend before I can start on drafting the second task.
