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

  • A looooooong time. I also did my L5 via ICS Learn. I think the time it took was mostly due to CIPD process? Anyway, I think mine took about 5 or 6 months (aka forever).

    1. Hi was the L5 difficult to pass? I have a baby and just wondering whether it's not that demanding to study at the same time since I have no one to help as well. What would you advise. Because I don't want to waste money as well. Thks

    I completed my L5 Certificate in just over a year via Mixed Mode learning. 1 of my friends has a 11 month baby and and as she delayed starting it, she is somehow managing to complete ALL the Diploma modules within 5 months (as that's her deadline for funding etc). I gather she has passed all the modules she has completed so far but can't say I envy her as I found it hard enough working full time and moving house whilst I was studying!
    It also depends on how you are studying - online/mixed mode/classes etc.
