Level 7 Diploma in HRM - Who is the best provider???

Emma Richmond

Hi 

I wonder if any one has any thoughts or suggestions on the best online learning company to use to start my level 7 diploma please? 

I completed 3 and 5 via Avado who unfortunately are not doing 7 so I need to source anther company . I have been researching and there are a few out there but wanted to find out if there were any opinions, the ones I have come across so far are MOL, ICSLearn and DPG

Thanks Emma

  • The best provider is probably your local university

    hi Peter. thanks for the reply but I work full time so need 100% online/distance learning hence my me room of the companies I had researched. I'm not aware of any uni's that do this?
  • Hi Emma,

    I was in the same position and recently started my Level 7 with ICS Learn. This is the first time I have studied 100% online and I am only a few weeks in so it is not much of an insight, but so far I have been really impressed. I have received feedback and answers very quickly and you have access to everything from Day 1, so you can study the way it works best for you. I am getting married later this year so I like that I can really focus on it for a few weeks and get through a lot of it, but then I can have a couple of weeks away without panicking.

    Hi Emily, that's great, thank you for the feedback. ICS were one of my considerations so its nice to hear honest feedback
  • Hi Emma,
    You can study 100% online (via virtual learning, online workshops, email with tutors and voice calls outside office hours) with the University of Lincoln's work-based distance learning BSc (Hons) Human Resource Management degree programme. This is effectively a 'top up' degree which can be completed in 18 months (although we offer periods of interruption from study if projects at work get a bit intense) and it has been designed so that students can explore their day-to-day HR challenges and current HR issues through the programme. It is CIPD accredited and represents good value for money. You also get to graduate in a wonderful ceremony at Lincoln Cathedral! You can find more information at www.lincoln.ac.uk/.../
    or feel free to contact me directly at jmarshall@lincoln.ac.uk for more details as I am the HRM programme leader. Best of luck!
  • Hi Emma,

    I completed my level 5 Diploma with DPG and I thought they were really good. From Day 1 you have access to all of your online learning materials, assignments etc. We had a group workshop once per month which was useful as you got a chance to meet with the others in your group and not feel so alone.

    Hi Emily,
    Have you completed your Level 7 dip with ICS Learn? How was your experience with them throughout please?

    Hi Loretta,

    I am almost finished with Level 7 with ICS, the pandemic delayed the opportunity to take the exams which was understandable.

    For me, although I liked it for the first few weeks, I have found them very frustrating. The support is inconsistent, the material they provide is sometimes 7+ years out of date and worryingly inaccurate. I feel that I have almost finished my Level 7 in spite of them rather than with their help.

    I have raised concerns with them about certain issues which they couldn't answer for and just admitted the issue but no solutions, or they don't respond at all. I believe they are trying to improve things but I have not seen that since I joined them.
  • Hi Emma... not sure they'll be a 'best' one as everyone has a slightly different set of criteria. At the end of the day you'll need to make your own judgement. All posts advisory, of course.

    This is very useful feedback, thank you. I am wishing you all the best in completing your PGD soon!
