CIPD Learner Stories: Adam Gilroy

Northgate PLC

In short

DPG provides a fantastic environment to learn, the facilities are great, the facilitators are knowledgeable and the online modules are easy to submit. Plus, feedback is both informative and swift.

Why did you decide to choose DPG?

I chose DPG due to the fantastic relationship Northgate has with the company. We currently conduct MAP managerial development courses through DPG and we have really positive experiences from the company. The course was also recommended by a previous mentor who attended and loved the course.

I decided to take the Level 3 L&D course to enhance my academic knowledge on the subject of L&D. I have gained a lot of experience over the last 5 years in my role but felt like I needed to take my knowledge to the next level and start developing. The course has helped me do this.

What did you enjoy most about your course?

I enjoyed the blended learning approach and the atmosphere created by our facilitator, Krystyna Gadd. Our group were very close and the course allowed us to develop a network of contacts that supported one another through the learning. The online modules are really easy to use and submit.

How do you feel the course has helped you?

The course has definitely enhanced my knowledge on the subject of L&D and given me confidence to take my career to the next level. I have a network of close friends for life and feel much more knowledgeable on the subject of return on investment and accelerated learning.

What are your ultimate career aspirations?

My career aspirations are ultimately to become a learning and development manager in a FTSE 500 company. I would like to then progress to HR director at some stage with further studying. I would love to one day own my own business delivering L&D/HR advise in some capacity.

What would you say to other people thinking about studying with DPG?

DPG provides a fantastic environment to learn, the facilities are great, the facilitators are knowledgeable and the online modules are easy to submit. Plus, feedback is both informative and swift.
