Assessment
You will complete a written assignment for each module within the syllabus. Assignments are submitted online, where they will be marked by BPP assessors and moderated by CIPD.

To be awarded your CIPD qualification you must have passed all seven units. Your course will consist of 8 modules, detailed below, which take place over a 20-month period. The time you dedicate to studying for your CIPD Level 7 will vary based on your learning style, schedule, and other commitments.
As a guide, you can expect to spend around 10-15 hours per week on your studies. Each module contains a number of online sessions, lasting around 2 hours. These provide an opportunity to check in with our expert tutors and provide the structure to plan your study around.
We recommend attending these sessions live wherever possible as it gives you the chance to interact and ask questions. However, we understand this won’t always be possible, so all live sessions are recorded and available to rewatch throughout the duration of your course. All learning materials are provided online through your BPP Hub account.
These are a mix of materials ranging from text, bite-size videos and interactive elements. These have been designed by our experts to support your learning and provide flexibility in how you engage with the course content. Along with the live sessions, your learning materials will prepare you for the written assessments you will prepare and be marked on for each module.
