CIPD Level 5 Study Time

Anne

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 - I completed my level 5 diploma recently, via a blended apprenticeship course. I found that the days that I was in college (once a month) and stayed after the teaching to start the essay were the most productive. As soon as I got out of that habit and fell behind with the assignments, it felt much more of an uphill struggle to catch back up! Covid/lockdown/furlough leave was a strange “blessing” in that it did allow me time to focus on the assignments - I went from 32% complete in April, to finished in July! Overall, and alongside many other responsibilities, I completed the course in 18 months. Had I allocated 3-4 hours per week to it, it would have been done in 12 months.
