In a move that underscores the growing influence of artificial intelligence in professional education, Avado, a leading provider of CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) training, has announced a significant expansion of its AI-powered tools. The company aims to enhance accessibility and support for both HR professionals and learners pursuing CIPD qualifications.
The centerpiece of Avado’s AI initiative is “QuickScore,” a tool designed to provide instant, comprehensive feedback on CIPD assignments. This innovation addresses a key concern identified in Avado’s internal research: 53% of surveyed CIPD learners indicated that real-time assessment feedback would be the most useful feature in their program.
“Our mission at Avado is to transform learning into an empowering experience that drives real change,” said Jill Kayton, Product Director at Avado. “By integrating these advanced AI tools into our platform, we are enhancing the way professionals learn and succeed.”
QuickScore is not Avado’s first foray into AI-assisted learning. The company previously introduced “Ava,” a multilingual virtual assistant capable of communicating in most major languages. Ava handles over 5,000 unique learner queries monthly, leveraging Avado’s proprietary course material and the latest in generative AI technology.
Expanding beyond enrolled learners, Avado has also developed AI tools for HR professionals at large. These include an HR policy proofer, a job description drafter, and a Skills Planner for L&D professionals. These tools aim to streamline HR processes and ensure compliance with current regulations and best practices.
The introduction of these AI tools coincides with the launch of Avado’s “Elevating HR with AI” bootcamp, a one-day program designed to help HR and L&D professionals navigate the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in their field.
Avado’s AI-driven approach to HR education and support reflects a broader trend in the professional development sector. As AI continues to reshape industries, educational institutions and training providers are increasingly turning to these technologies to enhance learning outcomes and provide more personalized support.
The company’s strategy aligns with the growing demand for AI literacy in the HR sector. As businesses across industries integrate AI into their operations, HR professionals are finding themselves at the forefront of managing this technological shift within their organizations.
While Avado’s AI tools promise to streamline learning and HR processes, they also raise questions about the changing nature of professional education and the role of human instructors in an increasingly AI-assisted landscape. As these technologies continue to evolve, it will be crucial to strike a balance between leveraging AI capabilities and maintaining the human elements of mentorship and professional development.
Avado’s initiatives suggest that the future of HR education and support will be increasingly tech-driven, with AI playing a central role in personalized learning, real-time feedback, and professional tool development. As the company plans to release further innovations later this year, the HR education sector will be watching closely to see how these AI-powered tools perform in real-world applications.
