I have nothing but good to say about Watson Martin. I had previously signed up to another online learning portal, after one session I realised it was amateur at best. I found WM who are professional, organised and have the best tutors. Their workshops were fun and inspiring and I learned so much. My tutor, Amanda, was and is phenomenal - she gave guidance but also let me find the answers so I learned. It was just the right pitch. I don't think I would have passed by Level 5 without WM, they are so spot on it kept me focused. Thank you!

Response: Thank you for your lovely comments Denise and we are delighted that you enjoyed your CIPD programme with Watson Martin. Congratulations on achieving your qualification and all the best for your future career.

I had a few troubles with the content and materials being incorrect at the start of my qualification, especially where links had not been updated. There was also a module that did not have a relevant level workbook towards the end of my qualification, although luckily when I called to discuss this I was pointed to a very helpful ebook by one of your employees. I found a lot of the content interesting and applicable to my work, but I think this could have been delivered in a far more engaging way.

Response: Thank you for your feedback Danielle. I was surprised to read your comments about the VLE as the majority of our candidates find it very useful. However, it is a constantly evolving resource and keeping it up to date is a major task, particularly when links to external references change without our knowledge! We take all feedback very seriously at Watson Martin and I have passed on your comments to our Head of Delivery. Congratulations on achieving your Intermediate qualification.

I prefer having printed slides to write on during the workshop. I will remember to bring my own next time!!

Response: Thanks for your feedback Laura and I'm glad you enjoyed the workshop. We are keen to reduce our carbon footprint and one way we are doing this is to reduce the paper we use across the whole business. As part of this we are asking candidates to view the materials electronically on our VLE. We will be reviewing this policy later in the year. Best of luck with your studies. Lyndsey Unwin, 

Elaine Woods training style and delivery was acceptional. By far the best trainer I have encountered. Really hope I get Elaine again as her methods suit my style of learning. Thank you Elaine! :)

I've really enjoyed the workshops as they have given me a good overview of several key HR topics, which has improved my overall knowledge of the field.

Elaine was lovely and very knowledgable of this module. Reed turned the lights off for an hour half way through which wasn’t very helpful nor professional on their behalf.

Response: Thank you for your comments Celine. I am surprised that the lights were turned off for an hour and I will certainly take that up with the centre manager. I am relieved this didn't spoil your experience of the workshop and you found Elaine very knowledgeable.

Very well structured and presented

Response: Thank you Emma and best of luck with your studies.

There is a lot of material and theory to get through and in my case I need to look them up and get more familiar. But elaine directed us very ably through the learning objectives and tried to help us not to get confused.

Response: Thank you for your feedback Diane. There is a lot to get through but I'm pleased that Elaine was able to guide you through the learning objectives. Don't forget to make full use of our VLE and other online learning materials. Best of luck with your studies.

Not having any experience in the HR and having done the course at home was really challenging to understand some requirements or questions until I looked from other point of view. Overall it was great experience and tutor very lovely and fun.

Response: Congratulations on achieving your qualification Egle and delighted you enjoyed the programme.

Managed to be both engaging and informative, focused but with room for discussion without overrunning or going off on tangents.
