Does it matter where you do your CIPD?

Marta

Hi All, 

I am planning to do CIPD Level 5 Diploma and where I currently live I have a choice of different organisations that provide CIPD, such as AVADO, MOL/Kaplan, Watson Martin, University of the West of Scotland and few others. Looking at each provider I noticed that there are some differences when it comes to prices and length of the training etc. I hope someone can advise which training center/institution or university would be the best to choose and what should I be looking at when choosing the right place to do the qualifications. Also, does it matter where are they the qualifications are done? 

Thank you in advance! 

Kind regards, 

Marta

  • I looked up all the distance learning providers that covered my area (East Midlands) and asked for further information. Some offer workshops which are beneficial for many, but for me it was difficult to get to them as none of them were particularly local. As my employer was funding the course I went for the cheapest price in the end.

    AheadHR provided an assigned Coach/Assessor who I mainly contacted via Skype (when it worked!) but could also phone or email. Whilst you have to be rather motivated to do a course this way, I preferred the flexibility (as I worked in 1 county and lived in another over an hour away). I had around 2 months to do each module and had the flexibility to extend a bit if required (particularly when I moved house!)
