Which level Diploma should I study?

Helen

Hi

I've been working in as an HR Recruitment Administrator in the healthcare sector for about 2.5 years now, however I'm not quite sure which CIPD Diploma level I should take.

I already have a degree qualification that is not HR related (it's in Health and Social Care if that helps), so I thought it would make logical sense to go for the Level 5 option considering I don't have some (but not much) experience in HR.

Any advice about this will be greatly appreciated!

Kind Regards

Helen

  • Hi Helen

    Unlike you, I didn't have my degree at the time I started my HR career, so I have spent the last 4/5 years completing my level 3 CIPD certificate to get some knowledge of the HR fundamentals, I then studied with the OU and completed a Business Management degree part time and i've just started the level 7 diploma in HRM.

    I found that this helped me progress from administration to Advisor and I am now looking at either a HR Manager or BP role with the experience and skills I have and the qualifications back it all up nicely. Good luck in whatever you decide.

    Hi Laura

    Thank you for your advice.

    I thought about doing the Level 3 as well and move my way up but then realised that I don't have the finances to study both.

    As I am still working, I don't want to leave my commitments - so I've opted for the Online Distance Learning route which will be flexible for my situation.

    Kind Regards

    Hi Helen
    I too study online however, mine is through ICS Learn as I like the flexibility and I can pay in instalments (Also helped that there was a 20% off offer on at the time) :)
