Completed Level 5 through ICS Learn - How long for certificate to be issued?

Hello everyone,

I've just completed my Level 5 through ICS Learn. I understand that this now needs  to go through a verification process before the certificate can be issued to me. However, I've been told that it can take 16 weeks for me to be sent the certificate. I completed the qualification in 5 months so feel a bit short changed that it will take almost as long to issue my certificate as it did for me to complete the course! Does anyone have experience with receiving their certificate through ICS Learn (I know that ultimately it comes from the CIPD but that ICS Learn have to pass the grades onto CIPD)? I'm wondering whether it does actually take 16 weeks or whether they're giving me that figure on a worst case scenario basis?

Thank you

    I know it is not the same but I completed.my ILM Level 3 Diploma in Leadership and Management in February. I was told 8-12 weeks to receive my Diploma certificate....I am on email number 72 chasing up. I was told my cert had been approved by the EQA then it turned out she left (quickly and in suspicious circumstances) and now the new EQA has to go through my portfolio on 31 July. I should then get my certificate about 10 days later. Absolutely disgraceful and a huge *** up from start to finish with my learning provider and ILM. Oh and guess what? The ILM sent me by email a certificate of membership Level.......sent to me in error. I called them back to query and they asked me if my bank account was ****** when I said no, I could almost see her go white. GDPR fail....someone else had paid to upgrade their membership and they had accidentally given it to me.

    So now I have a lovely laminated "proof" of membership with the ILM
