The NEW Certificate in L&D Practice Quality of the materials - "The participant packs are well produced and include a mix of theory and appropriate real-world examples to provide context for the subject in question. The way they are structured makes it easier to provide evidence for each unit in your responses and as such, they are much easier to complete than the more 'traditional' styles of assignments that I have had to produce on other qualifications" Quality of the tutor - "I've found Derek to be engaging and interesting with genuine experience and passion for learning and development. Derek demonstrates 'role model' behaviours throughout all the sessions which is really helpful to observe, especially given the nature of the qualification. I've already used several of the exercises Derek has used in the sessions to enhance my own delivery. I hoped this qualification would help put the 'spark' back into training and so far it's been a 'bonfire'!" What you are personally getting out of the programme - "So far its been great to meet other people in L & D and share experience. I've found both the managing change and coaching modules particularly engaging as I've been delivering workshops in these areas in my current job role and this has meant that I've been able to implement new ideas immediately into these sessions. Overall, this programme has given me renewed enthusiasm for training and the confidence to try new things and improve my skills"

“I have really enjoyed the last 8 months - it has provided a great basis for my new career and I have developed a new love for learning new skills and knowledge - which has spilled into other areas. I have been very impressed with the whole course - everything about it has been put together in such a way to keep us developing our knowledge, skills and abilities to analyse our own levels of learning. All of the DPG arrangements, paperwork and administration have also been high quality, and I have no hesitation in recommending DPG's CIPD Course to others (and indeed I already have). On a final note I have found your tuition, encouragement, challenge, and mentoring to be excellent, and I will very much miss attending the monthly training sessions”.

Dewi Hughes, Silverlock Training Ltd.

“I work with colleagues who are using a different provider for their CIPD qualification. They started in Feb 08 and will complete in Dec. I started in Mar 09 with DPG, and completed it on Oct 09! Not only that but with a much better result. The ongoing regular support and expertise to deliver this course make it really easy to get back into study”.

Faye Leighton, MOD.

“This is a brilliant course! The content is very relevant and up to date with different learning practises and I felt I learnt alot that I could now take into my workplace to help develop our department. I really enjoyed the fact that I could interact with peers working in training sectors in a wide variety of different industries. This made the content of the course just as useful as the course content itself.

Emma Dicken, Lavendon Access Services.

“I particularly liked the fact that the course is focussed on business needs and not a purely academic approach. This ensured that I learned skills and knowledge I could apply directly to my role, and which I'm confident will help to move our L&D function and the company forward”.

Branwen Jones, Millward Brown.

“Completing the CIPD programme with DPG was one of the best moves I've made with regard to personal development. Many Thanks”.

Andrew Brazier, Schering-Plough.

“The course supplied me with good knowledge on what training is and how is should be designed. It was very useful and it provided me with the confidence, the skills and the knowledge needed to become professional in what I do”.

Daniela Bultoc, University of Northampton.
