CIPD Student Stories: Amber Sturman | CIPD Level 5 Diploma

Amber wanted to continue progressing her HR career, and decided to study a CIPD Level 5 Diploma. Find out more about her learning journey with us.

First, I took the CIPD Level 3 Foundation Certificate in People Practice, and since completing it at the start of 2023 and then landing my dream job at AVC Wise to kickstart my career, I am now completing the Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management to continue my progression.

I chose to study human resources, as this is something that I have always wanted to go into since being at college. I want to be able to progress and someday be an HR/People and Culture Director of a company, working my way up and learning and gaining as much knowledge as possible.

I chose ICS Learn as they have reasonable prices, and you can pay for the course over a period of time interest-free, with just a small upfront cost.

I like to study in my own time at my own pace; I seem to thrive better on this. I love a deadline, so I make sure I set these myself along the way!

The course material was great. I loved how you get given the assignment brief but also a separate document with indicative content and what could be included in your answers. I always found that it helped me with ideas of what needed to be included in order to score me good marks.

The Level 3 qualification has helped me kickstart my career in HR, and I cannot wait to see where the Level 5 will take me with career progression in my current role!

ICS Learn are so easy, with great customer service, efficient and effective. The tutor support is always quick with the answers that you need in order to continue, and they also offer phone calls as well for further support if needed.

Gain the skills you need for the career you want with an online professional qualification!
