CIPD Level 5 - Unit 1

Hi, I have recently started studying CIPD Level 5, and I am stuck with Unit 1. Can someone please assist me with what I should include in the first assignment as I feel like I’m a bit all over the place currently. I am currently studying with ICS Learn. Thank you for your support in advance

  • Hi Rasa,

    I was on here looking for help with unit 2 (which I skipped and have now had to come back to!) when I saw your message. Here is my contents page from my summative assignment for unit 1 - I am also studying with ICS. I'm slow though so I should warn you this is from 2018, it might have changed!

    For the elements in 1.4 use the CIPD profession map tool to identify elements to discuss - use ones you feel show a sliding scale of understanding e.g. you know nothing about talent planning but have lots of experience in org design.

    Good luck!

  • Hi Jodie,
    What kind of actions did you include for 1.4.1/2/3 is order to strengthen the band or move to the next one? I'm struggling a bit with how to justify my banding and how to explain I will move forward
  • Hi Rosa,

    I don't think you need to be too specific. I just talked a bit about my experience and then listed some of the areas the map told me to work on. Where I evaluated an area I had little experience in I picked a couple of gaps that I said I would focus on as they would be the easiest to achieve in my current role.
