CIPD Level 5 - Unit 1

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.

Each area was only abouy 100 words so you can't write too much. Good luck!
