This Diploma in hr management online, involved attending online classes one night a week which suited my busy schedule. I didnt have the time to attend classes more than one night per week and CMI is the only college offering that. The classes were recorded and I could playback if i missed a night. I found the CMI support team always very helpful and quick to respond .I have enrolled on the next higher level CIPD people management course with CMI, and I'm really looking forward to that.
