Learning & Development
31 March 2023 - 1 min read
I wanted to share my story with you as just two weeks ago I finished my CIPD Level 3 Certificate.
I have 7 years HR experience and actually did the HRM qualification 10 years ago. I work at Unilever, a global FMCG company, and have done for 3 years. I was a People Experience Lead, up until this year.
I changed roles internally and now I’ve moved into the Learning and Wellbeing team, working as a Wellbeing Specialist for our Global Supply Chain teams. This involves designing and delivering online webinars, workshops and training sessions on all aspects of wellbeing.
Studying with ICS Learn was really appealing to me because I liked the flexibility it afforded me to pick up and put down my studies as and when I needed, according to whatever I had going on at that time.
I was daunted by the prospect of going back to studying and completing assignments after so many years. I was also worried about how it would fit while working full time, and if I would have to give up my evenings and weekends completely. However, I needn’t have worried.
The whole process from initial sign up, to finding my way around the online learning platform and the learning itself was simple.
This allowed me to really shape my studies and time commitments, and I felt really reassured that because it is self-paced, I didn't have to commit to particular deadline on attending a live workshop or submitting an assignment. The tutor support I received was efficient and helpful and really ensured I got the assignments right first time.
The monthly payment plans also a great feature of ICS Learn, and really helps students to spread the cost and make further learning accessible for more people.
Now that I have received my qualification, I feel so much better equipped to do my job at work, and feel really grateful for the skills I have learned as they will really help me to create and design the most engaging and beneficial L&D sessions for my employee population.
I’d highly recommend ICS Learn to anyone in a similar situation, who is thinking about perusing further education to demonstrate professional credibility but is maybe worried about studying again after so long - don't be worried, if I can do it, you can too!
