Human Resources

My journey with ICS Learn began almost immediately after I’d concluded my undergraduate studies.
I was newly into my first HR role as an administrator and was keen to continue learning about a subject I loved, with the flexibility to continue in my new role. It wasn’t an insignificant decision in terms of which institute I would choose for this purpose, but after some fairly extensive research I settled on ICS Learn.
In terms of course choice, this was an easy one for me.
I knew I wanted to get my chartered status with the CIPD, and a level 7 in Human Resource Management would get me there.
Equally, I knew the course would give me the theoretical standing to take my career to the next level. The online learning element did concern me at first, as I had never studied in that way before, and certainly never at the level I was intending.
Additionally, the learning platform is very well set out, meaning becoming familiar with my course took no time at all.
I would say that motivation and routine are two things I struggled with as my course was entirely self-paced.
However, what started as a struggle soon turned into a learning curve and by the end of my studies, I know more about myself as a learner and felt a huge sense of pride. For me it was about setting myself clear, achievable goals and working on my studies ‘little and often’.
Overall, I would absolutely recommend ICS Learn as a learning provider and if I’m ever considering continuing my studies in the future, they will be my first port of call.
