Assessment Brief

Task One:

At the start of the programme students are required to carry out a self-assessment of their knowledge and skill in each of the fifteen assessment criteria detailed below. They then formulate their development plan for each one. This plan must help the student reach the advanced level of the CIPD Profession map in each assessment criterion by the time they submit Task 3. 

The purpose of this task is to: 

Identify current strengths and the competencies that the student must develop during their programme. 

Enable the student to plan and deliver their development and monitor their progress towards their learning goals.
