Level 3 vs Level 5 - for Accounting Grad

Tatiana

Hello

I currently have a first class honours degree in accounting & finance and have complete 11 of the 15 ACA exams whilst working which were very demanding. However, I've decided that accounting isn't for me and I'm looking to move into HR - I have no prior HR experience.

I was wondering what people think about whether I could go straight to Level 5 CIPD, skipping Level 3?

I don't mind if it will require extra reading around the subjects, I just feel that maybe the Level 3 (as it's a-level standard) might be a bit too easy.

From looking at the content covered in the units for Levels 3 and 5 I don't see that I'd miss too much going straight to level 5? I'm also just thinking about costs of doing 3 then 5 as I'm funding myself.


Please let me know what you think.

Thanks

  • Academically you will be able to cope of course (with 3,5 or 7) but you risk missing out on the learning gained along the way especially as you have zero experience. Your main challenge however is likely to be finding a role that you can develop skills in rather than gaining the qualifications.
