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 Steve, thank you. To be honest when I posted on here I thought I would be lucky to get a response but what I have received from the community here is amazing. People have been so kind, have share their personal experiences, given great advice and support and also given me the confidence to make such a big decision in my life. I am so grateful that this community exists and cannot thank these amazing people enough. Steve, as the manager you should be very proud of this platform, if you are not already, which I am sure you are.

    Hi Amandeep - we're constantly humbled by the peer-to-peer support we witness here every single day. To be honest, some posts move me greatly and I have many examples of how seemingly small things have make a massive difference to an individual and what route they choose to take next - whether it be a task or project at work... or a life-changing personal decision. I've stuck here for so long (14 years) because I think I'm lucky to help members and people who want to enter the profession discover each other. The platform is not perfect, we know that... but it does provide a 'space' for some good things to happen. I refer to those moments as 'stuff that tingles' :)
