Hi all
I'm working as a HRD Assistant Manager doing the PDS CIPD through flexible learning here in Dubai, through ICS which is a UK based company and I've been in Dubai since Feb 2008. I will travel back to the UK twice per year for the 3 day workshops they provide. I have been back once and I am due to go back in March 09. I believe that examinations can be taken via the British Council in Dubai. However there is a company setting up here in 2010 that will also deliver the full PDS CIPD. I intend to transfer to this course after so that I can attend more classroom activity without leaving the UAE.
In the meantime I am working through self motivation whilst working very long days. I would be interested to meet people who are studying the same subjects for discussions, ideas and revision and real life examples for assignments etc. or even revising elements of the literature and regurgitating it back to others as a more 'fun' way to learn whilst practicing public speaking?
If there is anyone contemplating which course to take I would highly recommend the CIPD for its overall in depth study of all aspects of organisations from economics to social issues. It is also very well recognised internationally and having recently attended a conference where Vicky Wright (the CIPD President) came to speak it is now apparent that the CIPD is becoming more international in terms of its content which will make the post grad qualification even more credible.
Hope to speak to some of you soon
Nic!
