A great experience!

I have just come to the end of the CIPD level 3 after 9 months. After figuring out how the home learning campus worked it was all very straight forward. The online classes were good and informative, and whenever I emailed my tutor with a question I got a reply almost straight away. I have learned a great deal and doing this course has enabled me to step into a new role at work and further my career. It has increased my confidence and given me invaluable tools that I can take forward with me. I will remain a member of CIPD and may choose to study level 5 in the future. I would recommend this company if you want a quick no fuss experience that enables you to get the qualification you want in a short period of time. Being able to pay in installments was a big bonus too.

Helpful and supportive.

Great help and get everything moving immediately. Can be annoying the amount of phone calls you get if you haven't decided.

Stress free easy enrolment

The course advisor that helped me throught the process was excellent. She provided me with all the information needed and answered all of my questions. Everything was done online and needed minimum effort from me and my employer. Great experience,

A joy to be studying again.

I was hesitant to enrol on an online study course, as I had never done one before and it has been 20 years since I was a student. Thankfully, all the promises about the bookkeeping course were true.
Managing my husband's self-employed business, caring for my disabled mother and looking after my family has meant my time is precious, but I have really enjoyed the flexibility, the excellent and straightforward study material, and the personal help and useful webinars from the tutors. The tutors really make me feel like my success is important to them and get back very quickly with responses to questions.
The close working partnerships of Avado (HLC) with IAB and Sage has made study easier too, as well as the all inclusive package so no worrying about finding exam fees.
The career pages are current and useful, particularly for the jobseeker, although I intend to use my new qualifications to work from home self-employed.
The one piece of tutor advice I wish I had listened to is to commit yourself to regular time periods in which to study. Thankfully, I will complete my studies within my 18 months. Then the hard work begins!

HR Practice Management Level 3

I had not studied for over 26 years and wanted to study a subject that I was interested in,was work focussed and would benefit me in the future.
I originally signed up for Level 5 but due to circumstances transferred to the Level 3.
The transfer was dealt with professionally and quickly and Pamela Hunda at Student Services and her team are very friendly and efficient.
I had mixed feelings studying again but Les Curzon our Tutor is brilliant and made studying fun and interesting.
Les was always available for a discussion and gave feedback very quickly.For me Les is probably the best Tutor I have never met but seen through the group discussions or spoken with over the phone.
If all tutors were like Les then I would happily sign up and study Level 5 because I now enjoy studying and I actually miss the course work and completing the TMAs
So Home Learning thank you for placing me with Les and I recommend to anyone study the Level 3

CIPD Level 3 - a fantastic pain free experience!

I completed the CIPD Level 3 course in July this year with support from a brilliant tutor (Les Curzon) and the helpful student services team. I had been apprehensive about online learning but the nine months were pain free and an interesting learning experience. The recorded live classes mean you can catch up easily and there is always someone at the end of the phone or email if you have any queries/concerns.

I'm now studying for the CIPD Level 5 course with HLC and really like the improvements made on the virtual learning campus.

CIPD Level 3 - Excellent

As soon as I contacted Home Learning College to get information on this course they provided everything I needed and helped me make the decision to go ahead.

I was quite apprehensive as I hadn't studied since I was at school but those reservations quickly disappeared. I was given access to the virtual campus over a month before my course began so I could familiarise myself with what was involved which was a great help.

The content of the course material and online classes were brilliant and when I was struggling with any aspect of the course my tutor Les Curzon was available via phone, email or Skype to give me guidance which was invaluable.

If I were to do another course I would most definitely consider HLC and have recommended it to my friends.

CIPD Level 3 HR Course - Fantastic

Have just completed the 9 months study course for my CIPD Level 3 Human Resource. The course was absolutely fantastic enabling me to study part time whilst working part time and looking after my family. The online classes were in the evening so did not interfere with a day's work with the ability to watch a recording if you missed a class.

The content of the classes and all the literature supplied by the Home Learning College was excellent. The support from my tutor Les Curzon was brilliant. He was always available by email, phone or Skype whenever there was something I didn't understand. I can't fault the service I was given in anyway.

Feedback on my assessments was always helpful, giving me ideas of where I could improve where necessary.

I am contemplating my Level 5 and if I do, I will definitely go through the Home Learning College.

Amazing tutor and support group!

I was really apprehensive about studying again after 4 years off. Home Learning College made me feel really at ease and comfortable with the the course I was doing. My tutor Les was really responsive and helpful with any queries I had, and the resources HLC provide are great. I will definitely be using Home Learning College for more courses in the future!

Home Learning College - Absolutely fantastic!

I was so unsure about whether I had made the correct choice in enrolling on a home learning course. I hadn't done any type of serious studying for 25 years and I thought I would let myself down terribly. How wrong could I have been!

From the first contact with the Home Learning College (HLC) I felt that I had people who could help and advise me. When I enrolled I received a phone call checking up on things and then regular emails that seemed personal and not generic. I got to know my Tutor by attending the live classes and when I couldn't I knew that I could watch the recordings at a more convenient time. I didn't want to let myself down so I made sure I always kept ahead of my studies but I didn't feel the time I studied was unreasonable or stopped me from getting on with my own life out of work. I have now gained my LEVEL 3 CIPD qualification and I totally over the moon! I have now gone on to study for LEVEL 5 and have enrolled with the HLC. Thoroughly recommended!

Disappointed

No feedback on assignments and emails asking for help go ignored.
Don't waste your money and go elsewhere.

Disappointed

I've been studying for my level 1 in booker ping over the last couple of months however due to a recent engagement, my time has been swamped with wedding prep and getting ready to move abroad after the wedding.
I talked this through with my tutor who was very understanding, organised a college that I could take my exams with and then contacted the direct office to put my course on hold until then only to be informed that they could not put the course on hold unless there were strong medical reasons.
Really upset and greatly disappointed!
I've spent so much money on this course and now will lose it all!
Be aware of this clause!
There are better companies offering the course with the ability to put a course on hold!

Dear Leah,
We are sorry to learn of your concerns raised. We wish to confirm that all our courses are created and developed with the an extra 3 months tuition supplied in addition to the typical completion times as we understand that sometimes life and work can get in the way and some students may need a little extra time.

In the event that a student needs more than the normal time given then they can purchase an extension or if there is a situation where a student isn’t physically able to study for a period of time then we will assess this aspect on a case by case basis. We would like to speak with you about your concerns and expected time lines for completion, unfortunately your post hasn’t supplied enough information for us to locate your student record and contact you. If you would like to speak with us about your specific time restraints and time remaining on the course then please call 0208 080 6491.
