Chelsie has only positive things to say about the tutor support she has experienced while studying with us, and has said that the online learning environment feels as inclusive as a classroom one. 

As a HR Assistant at Atrium Underwriters, I made the deliberate decision to embark on the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management through ICS Learn. The thought behind my choice stemmed from a challenge set by my manager, who believed that completing this course would pave the way for the next stage of my career.

Initially, I harboured some reservations about opting for online learning, apprehensive about the ease of asking questions and obtaining essential support. Nevertheless, my experience with ICS Learn has exceeded expectations, presenting a seamless journey with access to a wealth of information and tutor support that has proven instrumental in my learning process.

Throughout the course, I was deeply impressed by the quality of the curriculum and the level of engagement provided by the tutors.

Their dedication and readiness to assist provided me with a sense of security, making the online learning environment feel as inclusive as a traditional classroom.

One aspect that stood out significantly for me was the comprehensive coverage of employment law, which I found particularly valuable in enhancing my understanding of various HR practices and legal intricacies.

Armed with this newfound knowledge, I am now better equipped to tackle challenges and make informed decisions in my daily role as an HR Assistant.

Looking ahead, I am determined to grow into the position of an HR Business Partner within the next two years. The confidence instilled in me through doing this qualification has given me the impetus to seize every opportunity for growth and advancement in my career.

My manager originally suggested ICS Learn as he had completed his CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma in strategic People Management through the same provider.
