Level 3 - online or f2f?

Hello everyone,

I'm undecided as to whether to start my Level 3 though fully online or at a local college with face to face teaching.

What are everyone's experiences been like?  I haven't studied in a while so feel that I may need the support.  However, I would like to be at home more and like the idea of studying in my own time.

I have had a bad experience with Learn Direct.  Any recommendations of good online companies?

Many thanks.

  • Hi Sarah, I chose to do my L5 at a college last year, then came Covid. So we ended up having all the lectures via Teams. what it has done though, is the ability to watch the recording of each lectures when required, which helps a lot. It has also bought together a great group of people with whom we have a WhatsApp group and also get together on line now and then to talk through our challenges and ideas. I personally feel this has helped a lot. You sometimes need the interaction with others to show you are not alone if and when you face challenges. The CIPD website has a list of course providers, you can then read the reviews. Best of luck to you.
  • I know I am biased but IMHO your local Uni/College should be your starting point for real learning with fellow student/friends/contacts.
