L7 and struggling to get started... any advice?

Michelle

Hello All, I have recently chosen to start my CIPD level 7. I have over 10 years HR and management experience, hence I am jumping in at level 7. I am really struggling starting and over whelmed with all the reading. Do you have any advice for me? Thanks.

  • Hi Michelle,

    Firstly, well done for starting at all. I put off doing my CIPD Level 7 until my late 50s and I too am struggling, having not done any real studying for 20 years. The thing that I have found helps is to keep a diary of what you need to do and what you have done so that you can see progress. Look at the templates for the modules too (if your training provider does these) because they are full of useful articles that relate specifically to the topic you are studying and use your PM magazine and Personnel Today and Human Times for keeping up to date with current affairs (sign up to the latter two to get regular emails). Keeping going is the main thing - if you take too much of a break it will be hard to jump back in so just keep plodding along. Once you reach exam modules you have tight deadlines to stick to and that has really focused me but of course much of it is done on assignment so you just need to keep your eyes on the prize - just think how proud you will be to have completed!

    Good luck.
