Although I was advised that the course was suitable for someone not working in the industry, I did not find this to be the case. All my submissions required evidence of understanding based of workplace examples/activities which I did not always have access to.
Response: Hi Pascale, thanks for your useful feedback. We appreciate that the assignments do ask for references to a company they know well but we find that candidates in your position are able to use experience from their roles in previous jobs and this usually works well. This is why we advise that candidates don't necessarily have to be working in the industry to study at this level but they do require some knowledge of an organisation. We can also provide case studies to help candidates overcome this issue. Congratulations on achieving your qualification and good luck in your future career.
The structure of the course was very useful. Being able to work through the assessment templates and discuss them with the trainer and other learners has made me much more confident to complete the module.
The lecturer was fantastic, enthusiastic and clearly knows the topic very well. Venue was great and in a great location.
The trainer was very knowledge on the subjects. The course materials were good. Its just a shame that there are only workshops in London, as I would have liked to be able to participate in them, but not possible living in Scotland!
Response: Hi Gill, thank you for your feedback. Our workshops are very popular and we may consider running them in other areas in the future so watch this space!
My consultant Louise Hill was absolutely brilliant. very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. I felt that I could contact her at anytime to discuss questions/queries/issues that I had. I only wish that had been assigned to me at the start of the qualification and not as my replacement consultant when the previous one left the company.
The biggest positive for this course was that it gave me the independence to learn and complete the course work at my own pace. My course advisor was excellent, always available for any questions and provided quick turnaround on my submissions with very clear, constructive feedback. I experienced some issues in my time on the course with the portal. I could not upload my coursework onto the portal for example and some of the modules had broken links for support materials.
Response: Thanks for your comments Steve and congratulations on successfully completing your CIPD qualification.
