Hi there, 

I'm considering doing the CIPD Level 5 in HR when I finish a course that I'm currently doing so I reckon it may be around June/July I could start, however, I know it will be challenging and that's why I want to get ahead of myself and read some books before hand to get my brain started.

Could anybody please tell me which are the core and recommended books for this course? It'd be much appreciated. 

Thanks!

Gabriela
