Don’t just take it from us – here’s what our students say
Before I signed up, ICS Learn provided me with all the information to make an informed decision, allowing me to put a case forward in my own company to receive funding. My dedicated advisor Benjamin was an absolute star. The CIPD tutors replied very quickly to comments and emails, and feedback on assignments was also very prompt. Now I’m qualified, I feel more valued as an individual and also more confident in my contributions at work.
ICS Learn made studying as easy as it could possibly have been. I was able to study during lunch breaks, baby nap-times and my free evenings. ICS Learn opened many doors for me as soon as I started studying, and after being made redundant, the fact that I was working towards a CIPD qualification was very appealing. I was contacted regularly, and still am, by both recruitment agencies and other employers.
In addition to working full time, I’m an avid runner, manage my own cake-baking business and look after my two-year-old son, Jack, so I needed a flexible way to learn. I found that working with ICS Learn was really very easy. I could manage my own studies, but also had the reassurance of having the tutors on hand to help me. It has definitely influenced me at work: I feel more confident, and the course has made me understand what I do day-to-day.
