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 :)

  • I went straight into L5 from completing L3. However, I am fortunate that my employer is paying for my qualification and I get a day release from work to study. The qualification is through an online provider, so I can also study & work on my assignment around my other work/personal commitments. I am in a HR role at the moment but for me this course is giving me the background knowledge and confidence to a certain extent that goes alongside professional experience. I think it needs to be whatever works for you in your current circumstances.
