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

    My personal experience is L3 to L5 was a *huge* step up in itself.

    I pretty much floated through L3 and thought it was a total waste of my time but L5 is a very different beast altogether. I was tempted to do my L7 straight from L3 and I'm so glad I didn't. I'm struggling a little with L5 despite having nearly 5 years HR advisory level experience as I've been fortunate enough to not have had many 'technical' HR problems to deal with. If someone has been a HR Advisor for a year for a massive organisation with problems every day they would probably have more knowledge than me and find it much easier.

    To be honest after my L5 that's it for me as I know L7 will be way too much stress.

    You can find copies of the assignment questions online, that might give you an idea of the level of study to help you decide.

    Hi Samantha, thank you for your response. I feel much better after talking to my tutor and totally agree with you after doing some research. We currently dont have an advisor so im finding myself stepping up alot so im hoping i will have been exposed to enough problems but September to help me through.
