CIPD Level 3 newbie

Hi all,

So I'm currently doing the CIPD level 3 at college one day a week. It only started a few weeks ago but it all feels a bit daunting as we are starting our first assignment shortly! 

I'm worried I'm not academic enough as I haven't studied for years. I'm not working at the moment just a stay at home mum so felt I needed something for me and feel it'll open more does I job wise as I was an admin assistant before I got pregnant. 

How hard are the assessments? Is it manageable with kids? 

Any experience of someone in a similar position would be good.

Thank you

Gemma

  • Hi Emma,

    Thanks for the message i have just returned from Holiday I submitted activity 1 before i finished as a draft and have been told that it was correct so on the right path it was more the presentation layout i was unsure about, I have a call next week for activity 2, i think it is the long distance learning that i find difficult as you don't seem to have someone to just ask so to speak.

    Good luck Thursday i hope all goes well and will defiantly give you a shout if i need any help thank you for the offer :-)

  • Hi Emma

    How's it going? I have recently completed Level 3 via online distance learning with ICS Learn. The support wasn't great on some level but I was part of a Whatsapp group (now over 70 members) which has been the lifeline to many participants. Always people around to ask questions and share the frustration and challenges in the group!

  • Hi Karen, currently working on service level agreements at the moment, with very little support from my tutor to be honest the online learning is a challenge i think in itself, I have struggled with the layout of what things should / need to look like, I sort of have an idea what i need to do its just remembering to word things in a way that some one can read and follow instead of documenting what or how my current working environment operates if that makes sense.
    Thanks for the message :-)
