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

Nicola

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

  • How can you complete it with ICS so soon? Don’t they have set deadlines? Do you just work through it yourself? I’m doing level 5 with AVADO and the diploma lasts 14 months. Each module is split into learning weeks, there are two tutor support sessions per module and the assignment deadline is always 6-8 weeks after a module opens (5DVP and 5UIN) being the six week modules. You can’t finish sooner than 14 months because the next module will only open once the assignment deadline for a module has passed.

    I am studying the Diploma online with DPG and you go at your own pace with up to 2 years to complete all 8 units.

    I started on 1 April and completed the first 6 units by the beginning of September (including a 6 week break when I lost my mojo) so it is possible.

    It depends how much time you have free to study and complete the assignments as to how quickly you complete.

    I have again hit a bit of a wall (plus I have no laptop at the moment) so I am having another break and hope to complete my last 2 assignments early next year.

    Perhaps Amo is doing the certificate which is only 6 units I believe.

    Good luck with the rest of your course!
