About the Platform

What is People Study Pro?

People Study Pro is a study platform designed specifically for CIPD students. It provides intelligent assignment guidance, plagiarism and AI detection checking, a Harvard reference generator, learning materials, and a dedicated assignment workspace — all for just £8.99 per unit.

Which CIPD levels are supported?

We support CIPD Level 3 (Foundation Certificate in People Practice), Level 5 (Associate Diploma in People Management), and Level 7 (Advanced Diploma in Strategic People Management). All units for all levels are included.

Is People Study Pro an official CIPD product?

No, People Study Pro is an independent study tool created to support CIPD students. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

Do I still need to submit my assignments to my training provider?

Yes. People Study Pro is a study support tool — not a CIPD training centre. You still need to be enrolled with an accredited CIPD training provider to gain your qualification. Once you've completed your assignments using our workspace, you'll copy them into your provider's submission template and submit through their usual process.

AI & Academic Integrity

Will the AI write my assignments for me?

No — and you wouldn't want it to. People Study Pro provides intelligent guidance and helps you understand what markers are looking for, but you write your own answers. This means your work is genuinely yours, you actually learn the material, and you won't have issues with academic integrity.

Is using People Study Pro considered cheating?

No. People Study Pro is a learning aid, similar to a textbook or tutor. Our AI guides you on how to approach questions and what to include, but you write all the content yourself. We specifically designed it this way to support genuine learning while maintaining academic integrity.

How does the plagiarism checker work?

Our plagiarism checker scans your work against billions of web pages, academic papers, and other sources to identify any text that matches existing content. It also includes AI detection to ensure your writing appears human-written. You'll receive a detailed report showing any flagged sections so you can revise before submitting.

Will my work be stored or used to train AI?

Your work is stored securely so you can access it anytime, but it is never shared with third parties or used to train AI models. Your assignments remain private and are only accessible to you.

Features & Tools

How does the Harvard reference generator work?

Simply paste a URL or enter the details of your source (book, journal, website, etc.), and our tool will generate a correctly formatted Harvard reference. It creates both the in-text citation and the full reference list entry, which you can copy directly into your assignment.

What learning materials are included?

We provide curated guides and resources for every CIPD unit, covering key theories, models, and concepts you need to understand. Materials are aligned to the learning outcomes and assessment criteria for each unit.

Can I access my work on multiple devices?

Yes, People Study Pro is web-based and works on any device with a browser. Your work is automatically saved and synced, so you can start on your laptop and continue on your tablet or phone.

How do I export my completed assignments?

You can easily copy your completed answers from the workspace and paste them straight into the CIPD assignment template. The formatting is preserved, making it simple to transfer your work.

Pricing & Payments

How much does People Study Pro cost?

People Study Pro uses a simple per-unit pricing model at £8.99 per unit. You only pay for the units you need, when you need them. Each unit includes full access to the assignment workspace, AI guidance, originality checking, learning materials, and all other features.

Do I need a subscription?

No, there's no subscription required. You purchase individual units as one-time payments. Once you buy a unit, you have permanent access to it — no recurring charges, no expiry dates.

Can I purchase multiple units?

Yes! You can purchase as many units as you need. Many students start with their core units and add pathway or optional units as they progress through their qualification.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards through our secure payment provider, Stripe. Your payment details are never stored on our servers.
