What level should I study?

I have been working as an office manager for 6 years. As part of that role I have looked after onboarding and staff wellbeing and now in my new role I am also responsible for recruitment, performance management, dealing with disciplinarys etc. I would like to study CIPD and believe a level 5 is best for me but I spoke to a training provider and she said that as I already have an undergraduate degree (in English Literature) it would be wasting my time doing level 5. That doesn't sound right to me as I don't have the experience to go straight to Level 7. Another training provider agreed with me. What do you suggest?

    For me there are always two answers to this one

    1) What level of academic study can I deal with - which the answer for you may well be level 7, given your first degree (although not automatic)

    2) Which level will give me the learning and knowledge require. I would say that's most likely to be Level 5 - that seems to be the level you operate at give or take.

    So both might be right - but I would go for level 5 to get a solid grounding in HR before progressing possibly later to a L7 course.
  • Thanks. That is what I was thinking so I will go with that
