Really useful to discuss ideas in breakout rooms and on the course.

I did this course thinking it would be an enjoyable learning experience with a wide range of support available. Little did I know that you are simply given a 100 page study guide for each unit and told to crack on without any support. No webinars, no training, no student collaboration and no coaching. The VLE wasn’t interactive or visual. It was just full of resources that had been pulled from google which anyone could access. I should have used a different provider who offers a better learning experience for their students to get better value for money.Response : Hi Jake. It was disappointing to read your feedback as we work hard to ensure all our students have a positive experience with us. As a result, it's rare for us to receive such negative comments about one of our programmes. We offer four different study methods for our CIPD Diploma courses which, due to their design and cost, offer different levels of support. While each mode of studying comes with tutor support throughout the programme, there are some notable differences. For example, had you selected our workshop programme, you would have joined a series of interactive group learning sessions which might have been more suited to your learning style. You chose our flexible 100% online delivery method which allows you to learn at your own pace at a time of your choosing, accessing the many learning materials and resources on the VLE. During this time, you were supported with 1:1s when requested from a highly experienced tutor. We provide a wide range of resources, recorded content, study guides and relevant materials on our VLE which we know our students find very helpful. In fact, many of them comment on how long it would take them to research the topics themselves if they were unable to access the VLE. However, we are sorry you didn’t enjoy your learning experience. Congratulations on achieving your qualification.

Lorraine mixed it up a lot and really got us all to think. The idea of working on a PESTLE analysis has always felt daunting - allowing us to discuss this as a group was useful and will help in relating this back to my own organisation. Splitting the session into half a session is also better - this will give us a chance to absorb the information. Overall I gained a lot of food for thought from today's session. Lorraine related her own experiences as examples and navigated the discussions in a very structured manner. Thank you

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.

Sue is great, very knowledgeable, clear and keeps the class engaged!

Sue delivered a really good session that I found to be massively helpful in understanding the course content. Sue's approach and way of explaining things are particularly useful and I feel much better about my submission as a result of this. Thank you Sue!

This morning session was on a module I'm finding particularly challenging to get my head around. After the session I have a much better understanding and feel a lot more confident in what I need to do. It was all very well explained and very reassuring.

Trainer took the time to discuss the groups current experiences in relation to the course which provided a greater understanding of how to apply work related situations and how it could answer the criterium. The resources are a cross section of information, library of reading, listening, and videos which give a wide overview of research and experiences to draw from. Having the opportunity to discuss a PESTLE analysis as a group at the end of the session provided greater insight into situations that I hadn't previously considered.

Informative, useful. Enjoyed the interactive element and discussions.
