Hi everyone.
Wondering if someone has been in a similar situation and any feedback would be much appreciated.
I started CIPD L7 in June and asked my employer to help me with the course fees. I have been told due to current situation no funds are available for this year. However, one colleague in another department is starting a course next month and getting full support from the company. As all decisions are made at the top, i did speak to my manager and asked how come some people get full support while others gets nothing? I am still waiting for an answer. But I know the answer and my colleague will get the support as it has been approved.
If anyone has been in similar situation, how did you approach the topic? Wht did you do and what was the autcome?
Many thanks.
Mirela
Hi Mirela, I do empathise with your situation, it also happened to me, a colleague in another department got fully paid study support and an HR colleague received the same even though our line manager was aware of the lack of financial support shown to me. It's frustrating though, isn't it??!! You've got some good advice here, just one other thought - and this depends on your own financial situation - when you try again in January is it worth offering to split the costs between yourself and your employer? They might be willing to stump up a portion rather than the full amount so if they say no to the total amount perhaps offer to part fund yourself. Your call .... :-)
