Course and Advice

Hi,

I don't have a huge amount of experience when it comes to HR however, I do have a 1st class degree in a different subject and believe I am more than capable of completing the Level 5 CIPD accredited course. I am so eager to learn!

I have my interview for this course on Monday and I am a little nervous. Any advice? and do you think the level 3 would be more suited to my abilities/knowledge?

Thank you for your help in advance.

  • Hi Jennifer
    Are you currently working in HR and if so, what role and how long? I think that might help to give a better understanding as to whether you should do level 3 or 5.
  • Hi Cass,
    Thanks for your reply.

    I have been helping the operational manger with small HR tasks in the office that I am based in since last October.

    I work for a SME under an umberella company, who has no HR personnel.

    I understand the level 3 is the best starting point, however, I know I have the capability to complete the level 5 and financially I can only afford to do one course.
  • Hi Jennifer
    Who is your course provider? It sounds as if you are perfectly capable of undertaking the level 5 however, being relatively new to HR and working for a company that does not have an established HR department, level 3 provides the basic fundamentals from which to build on. I can see a case for both being relevant to you in a professional sense but level 5 makes sense on a practical academic level for you.

    Whatever the outcome good luck at interview
