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
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
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.
Hi Ritika,
Have you used the profession map on the CIPD website? www.cipd.co.uk/.../default.html
This let's you answer questions to complete a self evaluation and then you can select your areas. For instance I chose resourcing because I have experience in it to build upon, org development because I have no experience so it would be completely new to me, and Learning and Development because it's an area of interest that overlapped with my job at the time.
Hi Jodie,
Thanks for this. I am struggling with 4.1 at the moment. and more specifically with "Undertake a self assessment against the L&D specialist knowledge area of the CIPD 2018 Map"
Did you self assess against all areas of L&D at the associate level?
