CIPD Level 5 Study Time

HI

I would like advice please from those that have completed or currently studying their Level 5 diploma, I would like to finish this in the quickest time possible and wanted to find out what is realistically required in hours per week of study to do this.  I expected Unit 1 to take less time that it has but now I am familiar with the requirements I think I could make the next lot go a bit quicker and i have the time now to do this.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I started with unit one by doing all the reading first but found that when I got to different sections I had to go back and re-read so not sure this was the best course of action?  Kind Regards Anne

  • Hi Anne, all of the modules are very very different. I started out thinking that i wanted to get this done and dusted quite quickly but reality is, some require an awful lot of reading and research, something that cannot be rushed during a lunch break etc.

    For example, if you are doing the diploma, them 5DER (Contemporary Development in Employee Relations) needs a LOT of reading in order to get behind the subject.

    Therefore, sadly i cannot offer any help for you to complete quickly. its frustrating i know

  • Completely here you, do you have a set amount of hours study you are seeing works a week for you?
  • Cliff perhaps I can ask you as well if you don't mind. I often struggle to find authors for reading material, I asked student advice who said I just have to use google which I do but there is alot of nonsense out there. Is there a list of resources somewhere on the site I am missing. I obviously have the vital bookshelf and the textbooks to read there but did not find this a whole load of help in my first unit - I really battled to find good authors to reference?
