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

  • Oh my goodness! 16 weeks :-(

    I've just read through this trail as I just (last night) submitted my last essay, the reflective piece for my level 5 diploma and am now (not so patiently) waiting for it to be marked. *fingers crossed*

    Congrats everyone!
  • Hi Lorraine,
    Congratulations on your pass last year. Like you, I've just heard that I've passed my reflective and last assessment. How long did it take to get your certificate and were you kept informed as to the progression? Also, I uploaded my PDP as instructed separately at the beginning of the course updating as I went but that remains ungraded - was that the same for you?
    Sorry for all the questions.
    Kind regards,
    John
