The Good: The actual training for my CIPD level 3 - People Practice was good. I was happy with it, although there are plenty of areas for improvement. The BAD:I completed & 'passed' my CIPD course via Avado in May 2024. I was told by mid-August that I would receive my physical certificate from the CIPD (after their review) and a digital copy. Neither has come.After calling Avado and not hearing back, I called the CIPD to find out Avado had not registered me as a student and that they had not received any of my work! I was also told I had now missed the current review window, meaning that when this is sorted, I will not receive my certification until the end of January 2025!I have had ZERO contact from Avado to say there were any issues or that they couldn't and had not passed on my work for review. I had to chase this down myself! It is outrageous this wasn't caught sooner and that they clearly do not care about students when the course is over. Surely, they should have checks to make sure this can't happen and for students to be notified if there are issues.I will never use this company again after spending the best part of £1,800 for the course. I started in October 2023, effectively being well over a year before I can technically finish the '8-month' course.Shocking!
