Do I go onto my L5 or have a break?

Caitlin

Hi there,

I have just finished my last assignment of my level 3 diploma thank god!! Working full time, studying and taking care of a child has been a lot tougher than I thought! 

I am currently working as a HR Co-ordinator and I have done for the past year and a half - my role is varied recruitment, inductions, quite admin based, within the next year I am hoping to move up to the 'next step'. Although I do find I have gained more experience learning on the job than studying.

I just can't decide whether to have a break from studying for a while, is L5 Diploma necessary for a HR Advisor/Assistant role? Also, how long does a L5 Diploma studying part time roughly take to complete? It's taken me exactly a year to complete my L3.

Thanks in advance,

Caitlin :)

  • Hello Caitlin,

    This is my conundrum too. I finish my final assignment for L3 in a few weeks and am trying to find a HR role as I only have a few responsibilities that are HR related in my role and there is no progression for me.

    Advice would be appreciated for any organisations that would support my next study as I funded all of my L3.

    From my point of view Caitlin I would go further if you have the funds and time to do so but likewise if your organisation will pay for your training I would too.

    Kindest,

    Hi Kayleigh,
    If you can find an entry level position your employer might pick up the costs.
    My last 2 employers have required us to have it and therefore picked up the cost of the training and also our CIPD membership.
    Are you able to consider an apprenticeship?
