When you study the CIPD Level 5 Associate Diploma in People Management with VQ Solutions, you get more than a qualification. You get a complete CIPD Level 5 learning ecosystem designed to help you succeed.
What Makes Our CIPD Level 5 Learning Materials Different?
Most CIPD Level 5 providers give you the syllabus and a few resources. We've taken a fundamentally different approach to CIPD Level 5 course delivery.
CIPD Level 5 Content for Every Learning Outcome and Assessment Criteria
For every unit in the programme, we've developed comprehensive learning materials that go beyond surface-level summaries:
- Learning Outcomes – Each unit's learning outcomes have dedicated content explaining what you need to understand and demonstrate
- Assessment Criteria – Every single assessment criteria has detailed learning material—not just a few lines, but substantive content that helps you genuinely grasp the concepts
- Practical Application – Our materials focus on helping you apply theory to real workplace scenarios
CIPD Level 5 Explainer Videos Across Every Unit
We've created an extensive library of CIPD Level 5 explainer videos covering every core and specialist unit. These aren't generic HR videos—they're specifically produced to address each CIPD Level 5 assessment criteria.
Current video coverage includes:
| Unit | Videos |
|---|---|
| 5CO01 Organisational Performance and Culture in Practice | 36 videos |

Each video is targeted at a specific assessment criteria, so you know exactly which content supports which part of your assignments.
