Which CIPD provider?

admin

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been posted already, I am new to the site.

I am about enrol on a Level 5 distance learning course with Reed Business School, however I am just exploring other course providers such as ICS, DPG and Avado. 

Can anyone recommend a particular provider? Or have you heard any horror stories about any providers? I have read lots of goods reviews of DPG but cannot see the course fees so I'm currently waiting for a reply from them

  • ICS are working well for me and I think are cheaper than DPG.

    Hi! Which is better in terms of tutors: ICS or Home Learning college? I am planning to start a course asap. Thanks in advance.

    Hard for me to compare, I can only comment on the ICS tutors. Each module of the course has on line tutorial session and the tutors for these seem friendly and helpful. They can be contacted directly - which I haven't needed to do,but other students on the course seem to get the support they need. The tutors also seem quite quick on following up on the student forum when necessary.
    I don't think any distance-learning is going to give you the kind of support you'll get from attending a classroom based course with a tutor and other students. I think you have to accept that one of the downsides of distance learning is the "distance" bit from real people for help and support.
