As a Funding Officer for The National Lottery Community Fund, free time can be fairly tricky to find, so when it came to my own development, I needed something flexible that would work for me.
Whilst having led on a variety of projects and tasks throughout a variety of positions, I have never been a manager and so wanted to concentrate on something that could increase my skills in this area.
Having identified an area of study, I wanted to find something that would not only prove rewarding, developing the skills I wanted, whilst also giving me a recognised and certified qualification on completion – I also wanted a course that would prove challenging and would test my ability.
Having not completed a prolonged educational course since finishing university, I was initially apprehensive about my ability to complete learning modules and assignments, whilst also maintaining a healthy work/life balance. However, it soon become clear that this would not be an issue.
Navigating the online system quickly became second nature, whilst the course itself instantly started to give me new skills and techniques to increase my own efficiency and decision making.
Having now completed the course alongside gaining more leadership experience in my current position, I now feel ready and excited to take on more responsibilities and look for progression opportunities, something I didn’t feel in a position to do before starting this course. As such, I would definitely recommend ICS Learn to someone looking to complete an online course or just looking to take on a new challenge.
