Acacia was great in supporting me through my learning, I had a great tutor throughout which enabled me to have consistency which for me was the best way, I did struggle when I had a different tutor for one of my modules as there was some differences in teaching style and level of support, but overall the way Acacia deliver the course was great.

Yet another module on the Level 5 HR course, and yet another successful learning session. Michelle's method is amazing, very clear and concise. I couldn't ask for a better tutor. Happy to have had her on 90% of the modules.
I cannot believe I am nearly finished and so (touch wood) I have met every area possible. I couldn't have done so without her continuous support. She has made me aware of my writing style and given me the confidence to continue writing.

The course provided is really good and most of the tutors I've had were brilliant in terms of the materials they have provided and the contents covered in class as well as the support during the duration of my course.
The venues are not always the best in terms of the facilities in the building (noise, temperature, etc) but it depends on which location you choose.

I can’t recommend Acacia highly enough, the office staff and the tutors are fantastic. I received so much support and guidance throughout. I always struggled with studying and I had so much self doubt but with their help I actually finished and passed my level 5.

I have enjoyed my course with Acacia…

I have enjoyed my course with Acacia overall. On a couple of occasions I was not contacted back when I was told I would. Once I was sent the wrong joining instructions for a module. There is sometimes a difference between what Acacia and what the CIPD require in terms of assignment briefs and it can get quite confusing. Apart from that - all good.

Hi Inna, Thank you for your kind review and feedback. We just wanted to confirm that the assignment briefs are given to Acacia from the CIPD, so they are all are the same. However, our Student Support Manager will contact you to find out more so we can investigate this for you.
Kindest regards.

Love my tutors here!

- The courses take place in a classroom learning environment and I experience learning through interacting.
- I meet other HR professionals working in different organisations when taking different courses.
- I could also choose my own timetable that fulfils my efficiency needs.
- The assignment is combined with both written materials and practical activities.
- And Most importantly----I meet really great tutors who are experienced, supportive and engaging. I love all my tutors, especially Janine xx!!

It's so worth it!

For anyone thinking about taking a course with Acacia Learning - I will always advise to just go for it! I absolutely loved my learning experience with Acacia, I have completed CIPD Levels 3 and 5 and will very soon go for level 7. The learning materials are great, the tutors are always so very supportive and knowledgeable, the locations are good and the classes are fun and interactive. The support team is also very attentive and everyone just goes out of their way to meet your needs.
Thank you Acacia Learning and keep up the good work!

I would recommend Acacia Learning to individuals that want that tutor interaction. All tutors that I had the pleasure of meeting were of a high standard, knowledgeable and approachable. The course has provided me with all the theory I need to further my understanding within the workplace. I will now be able to put everything into practice and grasp a full understand of Human Resources. I have to give a massive shout out to Marco, who is just full of knowledge and aided my progression throughout this course.

I would recommend Acacia Learning to anyone!!

Acacia for me is No1 in the market for effective learning and implementing the knowledge in a workplace for working students.
I thoroughly enjoyed the modules delivered by Marco, Tristan, and Karen.

Liisa and Charissa within the student support team were always very helpful via email as well as telephone and both contributed to making the learning journey for me smooth through their professional delivery of customer service and understanding.

I have just completed CIPD HRM Level 5 Diploma. I had a lot of traumatic challenging health issues whilst striving to complete the qualification and i must say Acacia was amazing. They were very understanding of my circumstances, went above and beyond to support me through the challenging times and most importantly despite the challenges they helped me secure my qualification. The tutors were great, i had a lot of support of one in particular and i can honestly say he genuinely wanted to provide support an help me pass. For this i am very thankful and look forward to completing Level 7 at some point.

Engaging class and enthusiastic tutor

I attended a level 3 taster session and it was one of the most engaging sessions I have ever been to. Janine was an enthusiastic tutor who encouraged group work and maintained a high level of energy through out. She had us using all corners of the room, not just sitting down the entire time. Thank you for the great session.

My employer asked me to do the CIPD course and ideally as quick as possible. I then signed up which was a quick process itself and then completed the modules and assignments. Now got my CIPD certification. All like i wanted - striaght forward and perfect for me who is full time working. great tutors as i expected and got support when i asked for it.
