I'm sure other students will say the same but there was a constant noise (drilling/building work) throughout the day that made it difficult to engage during certain parts of the workshop The only other comment is that it would have been useful to have an FAQ to go over some of the basic queries that most students would ask: E.G Can I attend a workshop if I'm not sure I want to do the assessment? What are the deadlines associated with each assessment?Response : Thank you for your feedback. Many apologies about the noise which came from another part of the building. It was, I'm afraid, out of our control on that particular day, but we have raised it with the centre manager to avoid it happening in the future. I have noted your point about the FAQ. All the best with your CIPD qualification.

Everything was perfect apart from the room. The workshop was interrupted by a constant noise which could not be fixed. Whilst not a deal breaker, break out rooms for group work would have been better. Tutor was great, activities great and relative.Response : Thank you for your feedback and I'm pleased you found the workshop useful. Many apologies about the noise which came from another part of the building. It was, I'm afraid, out of our control on that particular day, but we have raised it with the centre manager to avoid it happening in the future. All the best with your CIPD qualification.

I would advise that delegates are invited to attend this workshop as soon as possible on their programme so that they can get the maximum out of developing their PDP, and also due to the requirement to complete the research project which can also take many months of research collecting the data. I suggest highlighting both the requirement to complete the PDP and the research project during the induction call. I have not had specific discussions with my advisor about the requirement to compete a PDP as part of my coursework. I am 8 months into my programme and I believe that this should have been emphasised to me by my advisor during my first call with her (Davina Jenkins). I would like to offer sincere thanks to Joseph for his continued support and excellent delivery of these workshops. He is so enthusiastic about his work, extremely knowledgeable, very personable and very helpful with any questions or queries anyone has during the course - whether it be about the course specifically or other parts of the programme itself. THANK YOU!Response : Thank you for your feedback and I am pleased you enjoyed the workshop. I have noted your other comments and have passed these on to your adviser. Best of luck with your qualification.

There was a really lot irritating sounds interrupting a lot through the day. The trainer handled it well but it was off putting.Response : Thank you for your feedback. Apologies about the noise which was, I'm afraid, out of our control on that particular day, but we have raised it with the centre manager to look into. All the best with your CIPD qualification.

The course was good but I felt the 3 week lead time for feedback where to long. Also having had 3 trainers duriomy course didn't help my early stages.

Such a shame the other students didn't show, but appreciated the 1:1 with Melinda

Initial tutor was problematic to an extent as very hand off and didn't give practical advice nor helped keep on track - once I transferred to Melinda my experience was significantly different and I had the support and direction I needed to successfully finish the course. Very positive experience of Melinda and would recommend her as a tutor to anyone.Response : Hi Michael Thanks for your feedback and I'm pleased you had a positive experience with us after a problematic start. Congratulations on receiving your CIPD Advanced qualification and best of luck in your career.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that the room we were allocated today was really noisy and quite distracting from the course. Also the course content was really intense and we all found it really hard to concentrate in the afternoon (1-3pm) as we only had a 20 min break for lunch at 12:40am (after 3 hours continuous study). An idea would be a 15 min coffee break at 11:30am (after 2 hours study) followed by a 30 min lunch break (after a further 2 hours study). Just an idea.Response : Hi Jane Thanks for completing our feedback form on CourseCheck. There is always a lot to cover on our workshops and we have taken your comments on board. Best of luck in your qualification.

Had a great day - really enjoyed meeting everyone and starting out on my qualification. The only feedback I would give would be that when I arrived, nobody came to get me from the waiting area and I didn't know that the session was about to start which was a little disorienting. I was also a little concerned that maybe some of the content wasn't covered due to the number of questions that were asked about the assignment (which were handled very well by the train!) but I am confident that Joseph would have ensured that we covered everything that we needed to. Overall, a fantastic day - thank you!Response : Hi Charlotte Thanks for your response and I'm glad you enjoyed the day. Joseph is a very experienced trainer and I am sure, like you, he will have covered everything required. I have passed your comments on to the venue manager regarding the start of the session. Best of luck going forward.
