Excellent support service

This company provides support
and serves as intermediary between individuals and cipd. Individuals seeking to pursue courses in peoplemanagement etc. They support students to navigate the cipd programs.

My experience with the company has been exceptional. The on boarding was seamless and very informative.
From the commencement of my course they provided every information I needed to progress.
The support teams are very professional and prompt in delivering service.

Completing my CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma with WeAreHR was a genuinely positive experience. The learner support team was responsive, encouraging, and always ready to help with queries. The programme was structured clearly, with guidance at every stage, and I felt supported throughout my studies.

A special thanks to Giedre and the Learner Support team for their professionalism, encouragement, and dedication. Their support made a real difference in my learning journey. I would highly recommend WeAreHR to anyone considering advancing their HR qualifications.

Excellent response to my CIPD Enquiry.

Ryan did an excellent job in walking me through the many different options available to me. Ryan was committed with helping me navigate the various courses to gain the best learning experience . Just on the interaction we had I would recommend speaking to Ryan if you are interested in a CIPD course.

Dont go with this company

Have to agree with the previous bad review

I joined up and spent the first few months completing their random own useless in house modules that are nothing to do with the CIPD course

Then after finally getting towards an actual cipd module my work sat unmarked for months

Do not go with this company at all they are too small and too unorganised

They are more bothered about scheduling onboarding video calls then actually getting work out and marked properly

The digital chalk software they use is outdated and tedious

After asking for a response from management I have heard absolutely nothing from them in months

Never had such a bad experience with a training provider in my life and I intend on speaking with the CIPD about my experience

Dear Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t met your expectations, and we’d like to address your concerns with care and clarity.

Our teaching and learning exercises are designed to equip you with the knowledge and skills required to meet the Guided Learning Hours set by the CIPD. These foundational modules play an important role in ensuring that learners are well-prepared for the formal CIPD assignments, which is why they are a key part of the programme.

Regarding your concerns about delays in marking, we strive to provide timely feedback, but there can occasionally be challenges. In your case, we contacted you on 17th April regarding your formative assessment, which was marked and passed promptly. Following that, we emailed you the CIPD assignment for the 7CO03 Unit, offering options for July or September moderation. Additionally, we offered a one-on-one session with a tutor to provide personalized support, but we didn’t hear back from you.

As this is a self-paced programme, we encourage learners to stay engaged and reach out whenever assistance is needed. That said, we also have systems in place to support learners who might need a nudge. In your case, our learner support team reached out by email and phone on 24th June, and one of our tutors also reached out on 5th September to offer additional help.

It’s also important to mention that our finance team reached out on 11th September regarding an outstanding payment for the programme since April. We would love to resolve this matter and support you further in progressing with your studies.

With regards to emails from yourself, the last email we received was in April and this is regarding the formative assessment as mentioned above which we marked and provided feedback and gave you access to the CIPD assignment, since then we have not had any correspondence.

In relation to the platform, we upgraded to a new and improved LMS and many of our learners are benefiting from the updated system. If you haven’t made the transition yet, it is due to missed communications as you do not seem to receive or respond to our emails. We would be happy to guide you through the process to ensure you have the best possible experience moving forward.

We genuinely care about your success and remain committed to providing all the support and resources you need to excel in your CIPD studies. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us directly if there’s anything further we can do to help. We’re here for you and hope to improve your experience moving forward

Beware of We Are HR

I enrolled in a course with We Are HR in September 2023, and my experience has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. Initially, when I enquired online, I was bombarded with persistent calls, texts, and emails from the sales representative, Muaaz. While his urgency to secure my payment felt like a red flag, my excitement to start the course made me ignore it. I paid for the full support bundle where I would get maximum support.
At first, everything seemed fine, but problems began when I needed support from the course tutors. Despite their claims on their website that they review drafts, I discovered they don’t offer this service when I emailed them for feedback. My tutor Keith emailed me stating he does not check drafts, and I can ask maximum of 4 questions per assignment. The issue is that if the drafts are not checked then students would not know if we were on the right track or where we are going wrong. Their lack of timely responses only made matters worse.
The most significant issue arose with my second assignment. It was marked against the wrong moderation window, meaning my answers were judged against incorrect criteria. This caused me to fail the assignment. When I resubmitted with the new questions, the owner Natasia pointed out I had done the wrong questions—so I argued that I did the correct questions the first time around. I wasted valuable time redoing work unnecessarily, only to resubmit my original assignment later. Even then, they marked it as a low pass due to being flagged as a resubmission. No one took responsibility for their mistake, nor did they apologize.
The situation deteriorated further as tutors stopped replying to emails entirely. I was left without any meaningful support, which ultimately affected my ability to succeed. Feeling completely let down and struggling with the course, I decided to leave the course.
When I requested a refund, they outright refused. I even proposed using the amount I had already paid (£2,500) towards enrolling in their Level 5 course, but they only offered to credit £700 which means I would have to pay the rest. It became clear that their primary motive was money, not student success or support.
The promises of comprehensive assistance and guidance made at the start are completely false. I lost £2,500 and my time. I would not recommend this course to anyone. Be very cautious before enrolling with We Are HR. I have also submitted my feedback to CIPD.

Dear Reena,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns regarding your experience with us. We have investigated your issue internally and with the CIPD as you have already received a response but we thought it would be good to provide clarity on Trustpilot.

Firstly, I am genuinely sorry to hear that you feel let down by the support you received. I would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points and also outline the steps we have taken to ensure we support you moving forward.

Firstly, we strive to offer all our learners the necessary guidance to succeed, and we did our best to provide a fair amount of support during your time on the program.

In your case you completed four out of eight units on the Level 7 Strategic People Management Programme (7CO02, 7CO03, 7HR01, and 7HR02), you passed one assignment and chose not to submit two assignments and one assignment was marked as a refer, and unfortunately you decided not to engage further in the Teaching and Learning and to resubmit this assignment.

As a gesture of good will we offered to move you to the Level 5 program and adjusted the fees accordingly by deducting the fees already incurred. Which is not something that we would normally do and is outside of our cancelation policy and we did this as we care about our learners and want every one of them to achieve success. This was also done to alleviate some of the financial burden and to ensure that you had the opportunity to continue your learning.

However, as much as she would like to transition to Level 5 without incurring fees it is not feasible due to the resources and financial commitments involved.

We take feedback regarding tutor responses and marking timelines seriously and we have investigated and there was always immediate responses from both tutors involved. While our tutors follow specific policies to ensure fairness, such as limiting the number of assignment-related questions and not fully reviewing drafts (according to CIPD Policy on draft marking) we are sorry that this was felt insufficient for your needs.

We will evaluate how we communicate our support processes to better align expectations on draft marking in the future.

Our intention has never been to prioritise profit over student success as this goes against our company values of passionate, caring and friendly and as a rule we never sign -up learners who are not 100% ready to engage with the programme.

We remain committed to helping you achieve her goals and would like to reiterate our offer to assist you with transitioning to Level 5, should you decide to continue.

Please can you make contact to have a fresh start in the new year on the Level 5 Programme with our Level 5 Tutor who will fully support you to complete the programme.

Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. As ever we strive to do the best for our learners.

I would like to say a huge thank you to Ryan and Muaaz who have been so helpful throughout the process. I start my course in January 2025, Ryan and Muaaz answered all my questions and nothing was too much trouble. They were friendly, professional and reassuring. It’s great connecting with you both and I hope I continue to experience an exceptional service.

I recently completed my CIPD Level 7 qualification with We Are HR, and it was an excellent experience. The course content was comprehensive and practical, helping me grow in my role as an HR Lead in the NHS. The interactive online sessions and weekend classes were perfect for balancing my studies with work. I also benefited from on-demand support for assignments, which made a big difference when tackling complex topics. Additionally, the refer-a-friend discount on course fees and the flexible monthly payment options made the course more affordable and accessible. Overall, I highly recommend We Are HR for anyone seeking a flexible and supportive path to HR qualifications.
