I am currently completing my Level 5…
I am currently completing my Level 5 CIPD and I would highly recommend using HRC if you are considering doing the same.
Excellent support and great course content
I was looking for a provider where I could complete my level 5 CIPD online and in my own time around work and other commitments. HRC online offered various plans and I chose the Express option, as I wanted to get it done as soon as I could.
The initial 2 week trial was fantastic as it allowed me to see what sort of content was available, without committing at that stage. The support I received from my tutor was excellent. I often emailed in the evenings or over weekends for advice, and she would reply asap with a thorough and helpful response, and was also available for video calls to discuss queries.
The content is targeted towards the assignments and makes completing the assignments straightforward and as pain-free as possible!
I would highly recommend this company and am really grateful to them!
If you want to feel inspired through the course of your studies, this is the provider!
I'm so glad I chose HRC Online for my Level 5 CIPD qualification, having previously reached out to many other providers beforehand. I decided on them as their team seemed the most friendly, personable, and passionate and I wasn't wrong.
It can be challenging returning to study after a long time, but I'm genuinely so grateful to those at HRC Online for setting up a course that is learner-focused and keeps you inspired throughout the journey.
I chose the Express Level 5 package as I wanted to work to a shorter timeframe following redundancy, and have honestly felt so inspired by their approach to helping students learn.
I did a lot of research, and had heard horror stories about other providers and the lack of support learners often experience with them, and honestly feel choosing HRC was the best decision I could have made.
The content they provide is extensive and engaging, there is a wealth of related material that comes with each section and the tutor videos are really informative.
There are so many course providers out there, and I think it's really important to shout-out those who put learners front and centre, and who genuinely want to provide informative, considered and engaging content that helps students succeed.
I can't recommend HRC Online highly enough.
A no brainer of a decision to go with HRC Online
Whilst I haven't been a study learner on a HRC Online course, I am someone who has operated in the HR and recruitment space for over 20 years and achieved Level 7 CIPD myself. I'm also someone who has participated in the content James has put together for the learners on his courses and must say that the innovative, immersive, and relevant way that HRC creates and delivers the subject matter is head and shoulders above any other provider. It should be a no brainer if you're thinking of signing up. Just read all the other amazing reviews, have a chat with James, and you know it'll be the best decision you could make.
An informed and different learning provider
I'm delighted to put my support behind HRC Online, James Dean and his team. He's offering a unique and innovative learning experience and I like how he has engaged with the learners and also brings the topics to life by using real world examples and getting in seasoned practitioners to talk through topics. I wish I had that when I was studying. I've been on some of the chats but i've also learned a lot myself from taking part and listening.

James passion and commitment to his craft is exemplary. He really does care about HR. It’s in his blood. You’re in a safe pair of hands with this guy. Wouldn’t hesitate recommending him to anyone.

I would highly recommend working with HRC Online. James is so knowledgeable about what he does and has such a passion for developing the HR community!
Love HRC Online!
I have worked with James for a number of years & found him to be highly passionate, knowledgeable & willing to question the status quo on everything to do with HR and Learning & Development.
James has created and developed an outstanding product for those wishing to undertake CIPD qualifications. It’s different, receptive to learners needs & provides practical ideas and solutions along with insights that are thought provoking. It’s not a style that is all theory with no idea on practical application of learning.
10/10 From me!
I recently had the privilege of working with James and, even though I haven't directly engaged with his product, I am more than happy to share my thoughts on his commitment to training and HR.
James's passion for his work is truly commendable. His dedication to the field is evident in every interaction I've had with him. Despite not personally experiencing his product, I have had the opportunity to witness firsthand the enthusiasm and expertise he brings to the realm of training and human resources.
Transitioning from Google Reviews to TrustPilot is a bold move, and I am pleased to contribute my support to this shift. James's professionalism and commitment to excellence make him someone I trust and would recommend to others in the professional development and HR community.
While I may not be able to speak directly to the product, I am confident that James's passion and expertise translate seamlessly into the quality of his offerings. It's clear that he takes pride in his work, and I have no doubt that his commitment to providing valuable training experiences is reflected in the products and services he provides.
Amazing Resources and Service
James and the team at HRC are very informative, great advice and support for the students on their course. The additional resources available to general public is amazing and shows their dedication to open education and shared learning experiences.
