If you’re someone who already has fairly strong experience or education in HR/ L&D - then it gets the job done. It’s good in the sense it has really clear deadlines to meet, unlike with other providers where it can run on indefinitely which doesn’t work unless you’re really self-disciplined. On the other-hand, it’s not the same as being at a college or university in that the experience is very hands-off with your tutors. You get a couple of tutor support sessions per module where you’re in a Zoom meeting with lots of other learners with the tutor reading through slides. Given given the timings of these sessions - there’s not huge opportunity to ask questions as there’s so many people in the room. If you do have a question, it’s online through the hub, or through a form which isn’t personal, and can sometimes be inefficient time-wise. There’s no 1:1 time with your tutor. My cohort had a situation where an incorrect word count was advised and we were advised of the change just a few days before the deadline, with many learners having completed and submitting their assessments. We also had a change in tutors 3 or 4 times over 11 months - therefore you’re not always getting a consistent experience.If you want the qualification and don’t have the time to be educated at college, then you don’t have much choice to pay for this virtual method. But is this method of learning really value for money? Probably not. If you’re looking for a more hands-on approach, try a college/ night school. Tip for HR Learners: Buy Armstrong’s Handbook of Human Resource Management Practice - it really helped me with my assessments and I found it to be much more relevant than the training material Avado provides.
