CIPD level 5 qualification or work experience?

Paula

Dear all:

I have a master degree in Economics and I have been working for almost two years as a project coordinator until I have discovered my interest in HR. I called one of the course for CIPD after the phone call conversation they said I can skip Level 3 and straight onto level 5 for CIPD. Since I've had a little work experience, I'm also job-hunting. This is why at the moment I'm a bit vague as to what to do since I believe qualification is crucial, it a way to expand the network(hopefully) and also a way to boost my knowledge(since I had very little), at the same time, a lot of jobs do not require such qualification if you wish to start from the bottom.( my opinion). That is why at the moment opportunity cost is being considered. Should I proceed with my qualification or should I continue looking for more job experiences?

Anyone can help me with the question would be greatly appreciated!

BR,

Paula

    Thank you. I do have a course where you attend physically in London they occur every other two weeks and out of 10, two sessions are online. How do you make sure it's not clashed when I had to physically attend the class and obviously if the job is full time? Do I just search for part times?

    Thank you
