Level 3 - online or f2f?

Sarah

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.

  • Although I studied the equivalent of Level 3 a long time ago (20 years!), I was completely new to HR at the time and found the face to face really useful with the interaction and support it provided. Although I appreciate things are a bit different at the moment.
    However I completed my Level 4 (no longer recognised by CIPD) and more recently Level 5 via mixed mode with AheadHR. I had already been in HR quite a while by then and wanted the flexibility of not having to attend in person as when I was doing my level 5 my workplace was over 40 miles from home. I had 1:1s with my Coach/Assessor so felt more personalised and tailored to me and my style of study.
    Whilst online is more flexible it can be more difficult to motivate yourself to ensure work is completed etc particularly if you work long hours or have a family to look after for example.
