Which level CIPD course is best for me?

Jennifer

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 can only tell you my experience. I studied the ILM Level 3 Diploma in Leadership and Management and to be honest, I didn't find them very much of a challenge. I am an older student so I do have many years' experience so that probably helped. On the flip side, I hadn't studied since the 80s and have never been to university so no degree.

    I started my CIPD Level 5 Diploma in HR Management on 1 April. It is 100% online and although I have found elements of it tricky, I reckon the level is perfect for me. I have completed 3 units, will submit the 4th at weekend and have 4 more units to go. I hope to finish by the end of the year.

    I think you need to speak to a few providers and be honest about your past experience and they will hopefully advise you which Level is best for you. You will probably have a better idea yourself which Level to go for after speaking to them.

    Let us know what you decide.
