Own development ...

Melissa Wilson

I'm hoping I can pick some brains....

I am currently at associate level after completing level 3 in 2014, I have had a lot of experience since then but would like to progress.

I considered assessment by experience which I have decided against, I have however looked at selecting some modules and specialising. For instance the Employment law module/Intermediate for level 5.

Has anyone had any experience in completing just modules particularly online? I have always previously worked better by college learning but this is not an option.

Keen to hear all feedback - Good and bad! :)

  • Whilst I have not selected individual modules for a CIPD Level 5 'Award', I am just coming to the end of a Level 5 certificate where I have chosen 3 optional modules and had to complete 3 compulsory modules. As this was done via 'Mixed mode' I didn't attend college or any workshops, but did have an allocated Coach/Assessor. As I have been in HR about 15 years now I was able to mix 'academic' research with work place examples in my assignments.
    I completed my level 3 at College, but have completed my NVQ 4 (no longer recognised by CIPD) and Level 5 via work based learning.
    At times it can be quite difficult in terms of motivation, but I needed the flexibility of not having to attend college every week. I was also very lucky in that I had a work based mentor and work in a large HR team who have all been through CIPD qualifications.
