James was ready for a career switch and decided to enrol on a CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management.

I'm James and I currently work as a security manager for a large supermarket. After deciding that I wanted to change career paths, I discovered ICS Learn and in specific, came across the CIPD Level 5 Diploma in People Management.

After researching the course thoroughly, reading the positive online reviews and feedback from those who have previously gained qualifications, I knew this was something I wanted to do as I've always enjoyed working for and alongside people. 

When initially enquiring, I was given excellent information that was relevant and useful.

The course advisor reassured me that I had chosen the correct course at the right level and encouraged me to proceed.

I have always preferred online learning as I can fit it in around my lifestyle and working schedule, as well as progressing at a pace that matches my workflow.

The IT system and user interface used by ICS Learn was also straight forward to use and easy to navigate.

The tutors are approachable and are great at providing regular updates to what is happening throughout your qualification.

After confirming the payment I had access to the course the next day and was able to start straight away which was extremely helpful!

I have already started applying and interviewing for new job roles within the relevant career field and some of the learnings I've gained throughout my qualification have also been relevant to my current job - which absolutely made it more worthwhile!
