Professional Project Portfolio and Strategic Business Presentation

This Level 7 assessment requires students to compile a comprehensive Portfolio of Evidence demonstrating their project contribution, reflective learning, professional skills and career development. The portfolio has a maximum length of 5,000 words and is designed to evidence both technical or disciplinary project engagement and the student’s development as a reflective professional. The assessment is organised into three main components: a Discipline Report, Project Work Logbook, and Career Development Plan. Assessment Overview The Discipline Report, worth 40% of the portfolio, provides an overview of the project and its conclusions, alongside a self-reflection on the student’s project experience. Students also complete a personal skills analysis and provide a confidential summary of their team’s delivery. This section therefore combines project understanding with critical self-evaluation, skills awareness and evaluation of collaborative performance. Assessment Overview The Project Work Logbook, worth 30%, records the student’s activities on a weekly basis. Students summarise the work completed each week and document problems or challenges encountered during the project together with the approaches used to resolve them. The marking criteria emphasise consistency, level of detail, organisation and the ability to identify and address project-related difficulties. Assessment Overview Assessment Overview The Career Development Plan, also worth 30%, requires students to define a realistic future career pathway, identify relevant jobs and organisations, and evaluate the skills and knowledge needed to progress toward those goals. Students must also complete an additional professional-development course, such as CPD or LinkedIn Learning, to demonstrate practical upskilling and continued professional development. Assessment Overview A related team presentation forms a second assessment activity. Teams of four to five students must present face to face for approximately 10–15 minutes to a small management-board audience. All team members are expected to contribute approximately equal content and speaking time, with provision for questions and answers. The presentation focuses on the team’s overall findings, analysis of the business problem, practical recommendations, proposed implementation approach and final conclusion. assessment Overview 1 Strong presentations are expected to be engaging, professionally structured and supported by relevant evidence, graphics, tables and other appropriate visual material. Higher-level work should move beyond description by applying theory critically to a real-world business problem, recognising the limitations and contextual applicability of theoretical concepts and producing recommendations that are appropriate to the organisation being analysed. assessment Overview 1 Overall, the assessment develops and evaluates project reflection, professional communication, teamwork, career planning, critical analysis, employability, problem solving and evidence-based business recommendation skills. It combines an individual reflective portfolio with a collaborative management-style presentation, allowing students to demonstrate both personal development and the ability to communicate project findings professionally.

Core Behaviours for People Professionals: Ethics, Professional Values and CPD

This CIPD Level 3 assessment focuses on the core behaviours expected of people professionals, with particular emphasis on ethical practice, professional values, inclusive behaviour and continuing professional development. The unit considers behaviours that people professionals should apply consistently, including when working in unfamiliar or challenging situations, to support ethical, inclusive and professionally responsible workplaces. The assessment is structured around a job-application scenario for an HR/L&D Assistant position at Nuvascare Ltd, a home-based care organisation employing more than 200 care professionals. Nuvascare emphasises honesty, kindness, openness, teamwork, learning and ethical professional behaviour, and candidates are therefore required to demonstrate how their own experience aligns with these expectations. Learners respond to five areas of assessment. They must explain ethical principles and professional values and provide an example demonstrating how a personal or professional value has influenced behaviour. They must also provide examples of complying with relevant regulation and law in a professional or educational context. The assessment additionally examines behaviours associated with effective teamwork, including contributing views, clarifying problems and working collaboratively with others. Learners then explain how they keep their professional knowledge current and identify methods used to follow developments within the people profession. The final component requires evidence of active continuing professional development (CPD). Learners provide a CPD record containing at least two recent development activities and reflect on how these activities affected their knowledge, capability or professional practice. Written responses to Questions 1–4 should total approximately 2,000 words ±10%. The CPD record is submitted as additional evidence and is excluded from the word count.
