Level 7 Diploma/Experience/Dyslexia

Amandeep Jaswal

I am considering studying a Level 7 diploma, I have not studied HR or any of the other CIPD courses however I have completed a Masters in Occupational Psychology previously and I have been in various HR roles for the past 7 years, although none at manager level.

Like some of the others in various discussions, some providers have said that I should do Level 7 however some have said you need to be in a position where you are making strategic and commercial decisions to be able to complete this. From experience can anyone tell me if this is true? I guess my concerns are that I am not a HR Manager, I am a HR Advisor and the other concern is that I am working a maternity cover at the moment so will I struggle with this course due to moving into another role?

Unfortunately I am also dyslexic. I'm assuming others with dyslexia have completed this course so any feedback on support you gained from your provider/cipd etc would be really helpful.

  • Hi Amandeep,

    I'm a HR Manager with 2 years' HR experience, so I've been learning on the job. I recently undertook the Level 5 Diploma which was interesting and a helpful grounding, but the level I didn't find too challenging and with hindsight I could've gone straight in to study for the Level 7.

    I think the most important thing is making sure you choose a course provider that suits you - my lecturer at a local college was fantastic, there was a lot of contact time, and he went above and beyond to make sure everyone got as much out of it as possible. They also had support for students with specific learning difficulties.

    Best of luck, whichever option you choose.
