The philosophy of the programme derives from the principles of reflective practice and experiential learning, or using the CIPD term, we are developing ‘Thinking Performers’. Because of our approach nearly all the assessment on the programme is via assignment in which you are expected to apply relevant knowledge to an organisational context.
There are currently two examinations in the programme for the purposes of CIPD accreditation. Criteria is provided so that you understand what is expected of you and how you will be assessed on your performance. You will be provided with feedback on your assignments and as part of reflective practice, this feedback can be utilised in the preparation of your subsequent assignments.
