CIPD Level 5 experience route

Sandie

Hi everyone. I recently applied and completed my written assessment for the CIPD Level 5 experience route. 

I have the Professional Discussion next week and I have been preparing. I'm starting to get in my head about what the discussion will be about? I have read the guidance but still not sure if I'm doing it right. Can anyone who has been through this please share any guidance, what to expect and what to look out for?

That would be super helpful.

Thanks!

  • I did mine last year and was in a similar state of aprehension!  However while the guidelines you will have had when you signed up for EA might seem not to be of much help actually they are of more use than it first seems.

    My professional discussion wnet over my written submission.  It asked for some more detail in some areas, and checked on my unserstanding of some of the things I had written.

    I'd recommend you take another look at your written submission, think of some other examples in the areas you have talked about, and be prepared to explain how your thinking related to the profession map and standards.

    One example from mine was that I used a redundancy process I had run.  The assessor probed a bit around how I had communicated with all employees in the business - a tricky one as it's difficult to explain how we achieved emplyee buy-in to the concept that the process was happening at all!

    I really enjoyed my conversation.  It was a chance to share with a senior People Professional what I do in my working life and how I keep myself current and aleways learning.  It's not an inquisition by any stretch of the imagination.

    Best of luck, and keep us posted!
