I started the Level 5 L&D apprenticeship in 2021 and completed all my CIPD assignments. During this time I had not signed up for the CIPD as I didn't realise how IMPORTANT it was to sign up for the membership in time, I thought I could do it once I came back before I finished my apprenticeship. I went on maternity leave in September 2022 for a year and just before I came back Avado stopped providing apprenticeships and asked me to sign up with CIPD or else I was going to lose my qualification. As I was not checking my emails daily whilst on maternity leave (understandably) I missed out on this deadline by 2 weeks. When I came back and tried to reason with Avado on this unique case they showed no flexibility and simply said there was nothing else they could do for me. This is really disappointing because I have lost out on that years worth of work, as new providers don't offer the CIPD certificate anymore. All they need to do was to send my results to CIPD but they refused. I can see from other reviews that they are still inflexible and I can share that their responses were less than helpful. Very very disappointing as they obviously were paid for their services for that year and when it comes to providing the certificate they are refusing to support.
