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

  • Hi Nicola,
    Congrats on you accomplishment!
    I am currently doing my Level 5, and strugling with unit 2 as I've never did research on busines case.

    Do you have any tips by any chance?

    Thanks,

  • Hi Izabela, the best thing that my tutor told me was to not get flustered by the CIPD calling it a 'literature review' and basically just to treat the literature review in the same way you would a normal essay. I'd also recommend that you choose a subject that you're genuinely interested in so that the research isn't a drag. I chose absence management and it was stressed to us the importance of choosing your subject and discussing it with your tutor before starting the assignment.

    Also, if there's anything in your organisation that's a genuine issue that you could add some real-world value to throught your research that will make it easier (as it will be more relatable to real-life, rather than just being academic). Hope that heps!
