Academic integrity
Use worked examples to learn, not to submit.
Our resources are independent educational study materials. They are designed to show how concepts, evidence, application and reasoning can be developed around an assessment criterion.
Important: Always follow the assessment and academic-integrity rules issued by your own CIPD study centre. AI and other writing-tool rules can differ by assessment and may change.
What you may use the resources for
- Understanding what an assessment question is asking.
- Studying how theory can be connected to organisational context.
- Comparing different ways of structuring reasoning.
- Identifying useful concepts and areas for further research.
- Checking your understanding after you have attempted a task yourself.
What you should not do
- Submit a worked example as your own assessment.
- Copy or lightly rewrite passages and present them as original work.
- Assume a worked example is an official CIPD model answer.
- Rely on an online source without checking the original source and current requirements.
- Ignore your centre's instructions about AI, referencing, collaboration or permitted assistance.
Why this matters
Assessment is intended to demonstrate your own knowledge, judgement and application. A useful study resource should therefore help you develop those abilities rather than hide them.
