Which level CIPD course is best for me?

Hi all

I have worked in HR for around 18 months as a HR Administrator but have had a lot of exposure to a lot of different elements of HR not just your standard admin - KPIs, audits, disciplinaries, absence management meetings and your usual hr admin - onboarding, inductions, new starters, leavers, holidays, general enquiries, recruitment, agencies, training.

I also have law degree and studied employment law.

Do you think I would be ready to study CIPD, if so - what level? I wouldn't want to waste my time doing Level 3 if a lot of it might be things i already know.

Any advise would be appreciated.

Thanks

Jenny

  • I did a blog piece on the levels you can read it here: workforcedynamics.wordpress.com/.../

    You are one of the lucky ones in that you are working in HR, but 18 months isn't all that long and I would advise you to start at Level 3 as that is appropriate to your role at present time, use that to build on, gain some more experience then go for the Level 5.

    CIPD courses are an expensive investment more so at the top end so make sure it is appropriate.
