How German Students Can Succeed in CIPD Assessments

Introduction

The introduction should establish the subject, provide relevant context, and briefly explain what the assessment will cover. Avoid filling the introduction with unnecessary background information.

Main Discussion

The main section should address the assessment tasks logically. Each heading should have a clear purpose.

Start paragraphs with a clear idea, then provide supporting evidence and explain its relevance. Avoid creating very long paragraphs containing several unrelated arguments.

Critical Evaluation

Where appropriate, compare different perspectives, identify limitations, and explain the practical consequences of your analysis.

Recommendations

If the assessment requires recommendations, make them realistic and connected to the issues identified earlier. Avoid generic suggestions such as “improve communication” without explaining how the organisation could actually achieve this.

Conclusion

The conclusion should bring the main findings together without introducing completely new arguments. It should demonstrate what can reasonably be concluded from the discussion.
