Reed Learning Reviews

The venue was good and the directions to it were clear. Biscuits would have been a bonus but it was good to be able to use the kitchen unlike at the shard.

Although I truly was not the best student there is, I am very disappointing with the finale of my course. I submitted my work in April (contract ran out in May). Had to chase for final results (got them in July!) Although was previously told work takes 2-3 weeks to mark. When I got them in July (5th July) was told my results are with CIPD and I should expect my certificate to come through within 6-8 weeks. As I still have not received anything called CIPD to inquire, only to find out my results have only been sent on the 1st August. Very disappointing handling and finish to the program. Also disappointing as this potentially costs loss of pay package increases to your candidates. It also has implications for workers who rely on companies to pay for the course and who will have certain learning agreement commitments in place. As it stands now 3 months after finishing the program I am still not CIPD qualified. The most disappointing thing of all is that it has taken 3 months (quorter of the year!) after end of contract for anything to even be processed. And saddest thing of all is there is now absolutely no way of speeding it up. Lets hope CIPD does not come back with queries as this once again will lengthen the process. Happy to discuss further over the phone or email.

Alisoun Nisbet was a brilliant trainer - always available, comprehensive meetings etc. Couldn't have done it without her :)

Christine was great, her knowledge was great and helped us understand all the parts to the module, Melinda was great also when she can along for the session after lunch, I felt I gathered a lot to be able to go and complete my assignment however I would have liked to go through the assignment brief in detail so I am aware of what is needed to be done as there can be miscommunication between the workshops attended and what my assess tells me to do and look for, I think the criteria should be standard as I have found the workshop delivery assessor and my own assessor look for different things.

Unfortunately the slides that I brought with me were the wrong ones, even though I had queries this with my assessor the day before.

My own circumstances meant I found it difficult to have time to do the course effectively. I did find it mildly frustrating that my tutor was only part-time as it often meant I was waiting a long time for things to be marked etc. Obviously this is not her fault as that's just her contract with you, but it meant that with my sporadic availability to get things done for the essays, it didn't quite work as well as I'd hoped. I usually had chunks of time available and they turned out to be few and far between, so any time spent waiting for response was time lost really.

Elaine is fab

The content is relevant and Elaine uses relevant facts

Really great workshop with Elaine. Content was targeted towards the assignment and we had some really good discussions on how to provide relevant evidence. Elaine is very helpful and knowledgeable about the course content, and clearly broke down the learning outcomes in relation to the assignment template. Would recommend!

Elaine was professional, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about the topics covered. No queries were left unanswered and it was an enjoyable day with lots of learning achieved. Fabulous trainer and great course!
