CIPDThe HR profession

CIPD conference 2006… feedback

by Personnel Today 31 Oct 2006
by Personnel Today 31 Oct 2006

“I’ve heard the courses are very good, but I’ve never been – mainly due to time pressures.”

Bernard Howard, MD in charge of HR, Totallyfinancial.com

“I don’t tend to go to many CIPD training courses. They are too expensive and always in London – too far from my base in Lancashire.”

Cheryl Barker, HR manager, Piolax

“CIPD training is quite broad, so if you are a specialist there are loads of things you find irrelevant. But the bits that are relevant to your job are fantastic.”

Victoria Hugheston, recruitment consultant, Lloyds TSB

“I have not been on any CIPD training because the cost is quite high. I do intend to go along at some point though.”

David Steward, HR adviser, Worcester Community Housing

“What you learn in your CIPD training is transferable across the business world. I work in both Glasgow and in a European role and it is transferable.”

Susan Morrison, HR development manager, CIBA Specialty Chemicals
