CIPD Level 3 newbie

Gemma

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 Gemma

    My advice would be after every college session, write up some notes or research topics discussed. I also broke down the assignment into mini questions and write them as you go along after the classes. I am about to complete my Level 3 at the end of June so feel free to ask any questions.

    Hey Kelly I'm not sure what section that is just by the numbers (probably should) but what subject is it on and I may be able to help.

    4DEP is your CPD assessment isn't it? I didn't enjoy this assignment and made a right pigs ear of my CIPD map but still managed to pass with little negative feedback so if you have any questions let me know :)

    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 :-)
