Avado Introduces CIPD Level 5 Plus - A Comprehensive Learning Experience to Prepare HR Professionals for Real-World Challenges

LONDON, March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Avado, a leading provider of professional learning, is introducing CIPD Level 5 Plus – a premium offering for those pursuing their CIPD qualification. Building on the success of Avado's existing CIPD Level 5 course, the Plus package provides a range of valuable extras to help learners develop deeper HR expertise and practical skills.

With CIPD Level 5 Plus, learners will benefit from:

• Three Pre-Assessment Feedback Tutorials – Learners will receive additional 1-2-1 support from expert tutors to enhance their CIPD assessments. These tutorials offer personalised feedback, allowing students to refine their submissions and improve their chances of success.
• Two Mock Employment Tribunals (Valued at £795) – These live simulations provide learners with a unique opportunity to navigate the complexities of employment law. By working through realistic case studies, learners will handle scenarios such as unfair dismissal, discrimination, and misconduct claims. They will experience all aspects of a tribunal hearing, including presenting evidence, cross-examinations, and legal decision-making. Learners will also receive expert guidance and feedback from employment law specialists, tribunal judges, and experienced HR professionals, ensuring they develop the skills necessary to mitigate legal risks in the workplace. The tribunals are conducted in a safe learning environment, allowing learners to practise legal procedures without real-world consequences, building their confidence in HR dispute resolution.
• Unlimited Access to QuickScore – Avado has integrated AI-powered assessment feedback into the learning experience through QuickScore, an advanced tool that simplifies the CIPD assessment process. QuickScore demystifies assessment criteria, providing instant, personalised feedback on assignments. By directing learners to the most relevant resources within Avado's learning hub, it enhances understanding and helps students stay on track. QuickScore is designed to reduce research time, build confidence, and decrease anxiety around assignments, ensuring learners can focus on mastering core concepts and producing high-quality submissions. The Plus package allows unlimited submissions (compared with 2 months access for the standard Avado CIPD Course package)
• CIPD Membership – Usually not included in standard CIPD courses, a membership reflects professional status with career benefits, and access to exclusive resources.
• Kogan Page Book Voucher – Learners will receive a voucher to access a selection of HR and L&D books from Kogan Page, supporting their studies with high-quality reference materials.

Additionally, learners will have access to Avado's recently launched Mentor Programme. This initiative connects students with over 1,200 experienced HR mentors through Avado Connect, ensuring they receive real-world career guidance, networking opportunities, and industry insights. Combined with the features in this premium CIPD course offering, students will be better equipped to enter management-level HR positions.

Jill Kayton, Head of Product at Avado, highlights the importance of this enhanced offering: "In today's evolving HR landscape, professionals need more than just theoretical knowledge—they need practical experience and the ability to navigate complex scenarios with confidence. CIPD Level 5 Plus bridges the gap between education and real-world application, giving learners the skills, insights, and hands-on exposure they need to succeed in their HR careers."

This premium course is designed for HR professionals who want to elevate their expertise, gain real-world experience, and accelerate their career progression. The CIPD Level 5 Plus course is available now, and those who enrol this month will gain access to the first mock employment tribunal in April – a unique opportunity to experience real-world HR legal procedures in action.
