Level 5 without Level 3

Catherine

Hi.  Please can you advise if these is any way I could complete CIPD level 5 without completing Level 3.  I am looking to move to another role, however have worked as a Personnel Manager for a large supermarket for 15 years.  Having looked at the course contents I feel that Level 3 will be too basic and it would be make more sense if I could start off at Level 5 and then progress to Level 7.

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Catherine

    I recently completed the Level 3, and will be moving to the Level 5 course in September.

    I was intially told I had to do the 3 before the 5, but during my pre-course interview for the 3, my tutor offered for me to jump straight to the 5 given my 7+ years experience in the sector. I ended up doing the 3 first anyway, but that's a different story.

    Meanwhile, a colleague of mine is similar to your situation having been a Personnel Team Leader for 7-8 years, however she has skipped 3 and 5 completely and gone straight to the MA with Level 7.

    Hope some of this helps you.

    Good luck with your studies and role change.

    Regards,
    Sion.
