CIPD Learner Stories: Andreatte Balle

The CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma gave Andreatte the support and practical tools to progress and grow as an HR professional.

My journey into HR was slightly unconventional. I had previously completed my CIPD Level 5, but I felt a strong desire to progress further and refine my career through a well-structured, in-depth course that would build upon my existing knowledge.

After researching several providers, including my former one, DPG stood out as a key choice due to their reputation, flexible learning style, and strong learner support.

One of the aspects I have appreciated most about DPG is the way they structure their learning.

The tools and resources are available whenever needed, and the online access fits seamlessly with the demands of running a full-time career alongside the course workload.

The tutor support has been responsive and supportive. The structured submission windows also help maintain momentum without feeling overly rigid, allowing a balance between discipline and flexibility.

I have particularly enjoyed the practical nature of some of the project-based work.

These projects have allowed me to fully review and improve our quarterly HR plans while also fulfilling coursework requirements, essentially achieving two goals at once.

This integration of learning and workplace application has been one of the most valuable aspects of my experience so far.

Looking ahead, I hope to continue developing as an HR professional and solidify my expertise with this well-recognised qualification.

I would highly recommend the CIPD Level 7 Advanced Diploma to anyone seeking to evolve in their HR career.

My advice would be to allocate sufficient study time, conduct thorough research, and commit to the process. The workload is significant, but entirely manageable with the right approach.

DPG’s friendly, communicative, and easy-to-follow style has made this journey enjoyable, and the buzz of receiving positive feedback remains a great motivator in a profession that can often feel self-led.

I look forward to successfully completing my learning journey with them over the next year.
