Level 3 to Level 7

Emma

Hi 

Im struggling with deciding what to do next career wise. I have been in my first HR job for almost a year as an HR Assistant, in June I will finish my CIPD Level 3 and my manager is pushing into going straight to level 7. Currently we have no HR Advisor in our team and she wants to me step which i would love to do but i am struggling with the thought of all that responsibility and not much experience. 

So I am wondering what your thoughts are on the difference between Level 3 and Level 7?

Would i struggle not having much advisory experience?

Would i be better off doing level 5?

Thanks

  • Hi Emma.
    I am a lecturer and course leader on CIPD courses. Most students find the jump just from level 3 to level 5 a very steep learning curve. To go straight from level 3 to level 7 - effectively A level equivalent to post-graduate - is likely to be a huge jump especially as the level 7 study will be very intensive but also very much self-directed. I would not accept someone going on to a level 7 course without substantial HR management experience and or a level 5 CIPD qualification or degree level business-related qualification.
    Hope this helps.

    Thanks I have had a meeting with my level 3 tutor and we discussed this in great lengths and she agreed with you. Maybe one day in the future i will be ready.

    Thanks
