“I currently work as an Office Manager and was looking to solidify my knowledge and skills in HR. I wanted to further support my job and career, and I was encouraged by my employer to do so. My employer recommended the College for the Human Resources Management Level 5 and it’s not only local to me but convenient too. Following on from the course, I'm considering the level 7 course and I hope to develop my role at work, taking on more of the HR responsibilities with my new-found knowledge and skills.

It was a little daunting to start the course as I’ve never been to College before and the last qualifications I did were NVQs a few years ago. However, I have found the experience to be a good one. It’s definitely a challenge to get back into writing academic assignments and especially referencing, but so far I feel I have been doing well.

The learning style of the course really suits me, I love the social side of it and learning with others as we’re able to pick up things from everyone else’s experiences and bounce ideas off each other. The course has been a positive experience from start to finish and I would highly recommend both the course and the College to others!”
