Quick answers about scope (CIPD-only), process, timelines, confidentiality, referencing, and requesting a quote.
Do you support CIPD Levels 3, 5, and 7 (Foundation, Associate, Advanced)?CIPD (Levels 3/5/7)
Yes. CIPDAssessments is built specifically for **CIPD learning and assessment workflows** across **Levels 3, 5, and 7**. What “CIPD-specific” means in practice: - **Outcome-aware structure**: we help you map sections to learning outcomes and assessment expectations. - **HR/L&D frameworks**: content is grounded in people practice concepts (e.g., culture, performance, employment relations, L&D, reward). - **Referencing support**: typically **Harvard**, with APA 7/others available where required. - **Evidence-led writing**: we help you incorporate practitioner examples, case evidence, and reflective insight. Tagline-aligned promise: **The clearest path to a polished CIPD submission**—with practical guidance, clear structure, and professional presentation.
Which CIPD units do you cover (with unit codes)?CIPD (Levels 3/5/7)
We support CIPD units aligned to the current Profession Map structure. If you share your **unit code** and brief, we will match you to an expert familiar with that area. **Level 3 (Foundation Certificate in People Practice — core units)** - 3CO01, 3CO02, 3CO03, 3CO04 **Level 5 (Associate Diploma in People Management)** - Core: 5CO01, 5CO02, 5CO03 - Specialist: 5HR01, 5HR02, 5HR03 - Optional (choose 1): 5OS01–5OS07 (varies by programme) **Level 7 (Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management)** - Core: 7CO01, 7CO02, 7CO03, 7CO04 - Pathway: 7HR01, 7HR02, 7HR03 - Optional (choose 1): 7LD01, 7OS01–7OS06 If your programme uses additional specialist pathways or renamed briefs, that’s fine—submit the brief and we’ll align the structure to what your assessor expects.
Do you support CIPD Harvard referencing (and other styles)?CIPD (Levels 3/5/7)
Yes. **Harvard referencing** is commonly requested for CIPD submissions, and we support it by default. We can also support: - **APA 7** - **MLA** - **Chicago** - Other institution-specific styles (if your provider specifies one) If you upload your brief or marking guide, we’ll mirror the exact expectations (in-text citations, reference list formatting, headings, and spacing).
Can you help map my work to CIPD learning outcomes and the brief?CIPD (Levels 3/5/7)
Yes. One of the most effective ways to raise marks is to write **to the brief**—not just about the topic. We can help you: - Translate a brief into a **clear outline** that mirrors assessment criteria - Build sections that visibly address **learning outcomes** - Use the right balance of **analysis, application, and reflection** (common in CIPD tasks) - Strengthen **evidence and justification** (policy, metrics, practitioner examples) If you share the brief, we can produce a clean “outcome-to-section map” you can follow while writing.
