Purpose and aim of unit
The CIPD has developed a map of the HR profession (HRPM) that describes the knowledge, skills and behaviours required by human resources (HR) and learning and development (L&D) professionals. This unit is designed to enable the learner to develop a sound understanding of the knowledge, skills and behaviour required of a professional practitioner, whether their role is generalist in nature or specialist, for example L&D. It will enable learners to develop a personal development plan, following a self-assessment of learning and development needs, that meets their personal and professional requirements.
This unit is suitable for persons who: • are aspiring to, or embarking on, a career in HR/L&D • are working in the field of HR/L&D in a support role and wish to develop their knowledge and skills • have responsibility for HR/L&D activities and decisions within an organisation without a specialist function • are employees or independent consultants within the field of HR/L&D • engage in CPD
