I am currently a Health and Wellbeing Coordinator across a network of youth charities and studying towards my Level 5 CIPD in People Management.
A long time since I've completed any kind of course or qualification and only back at work for 9 months post maternity leave, to say I was nervous to enrol on the Level 5 CIPD course was an understatement.
Nervous to try something new, in an uncertain landscape, as well as being nervous at the thought of juggling motherhood, work and study, it took me a while to pluck up the courage and go for it, however in the end I'm so glad I did.
I quickly realised that the pressure was only coming from myself and that the fear of not achieving something was a silly reason not to try. Having done my research,
The CIPD Level 5 course itself is simple in its format which is great as studying feels uncomplicated, smooth and straightforward.
One of my favourite things about studying with ICS Learn so far is that you feel as though you are in control of your own learning and that there is no pressure to complete the course under numerous unachievable deadlines.
I specifically find the student community to be interesting and helpful, fostering a safe and helpful environment, similar to the one that you would get with any institutional education.
The forums are also massively helpful in answering or asking the questions you thought only you had pondered and it’s just great to know that there are others out there doing what you are doing, alongside trying to keep on top of day-to-day stuff!
So far I'm really enjoying my learnings and would recommend completing a course with ICS Learn to anyone. If you are on the fence and looking for a sign to go for it, this is it!
