Hi All
I completed the Level 3 Certificate in HRP a couple of years ago through DPG, and I've had a good offer in from them to do Level 5 starting this autumn.
I'm working part time as an HR Manager (14 years experience in stand alone roles), but the company I work for has halved in size in terms of staff numbers in the last year or two and I'm really struggling for work to do. I've spent a lot of time on the Community and going through ACAS/CIPD factsheets etc, all of which has helped improve my knowledge but I feel that I'm not actually DOING enough if that makes sense?
A lot of the HR jobs in my area are either fixed terms contracts, or are too high or low level, but I'm getting worried if the plug gets pulled on my current role I might struggle to find something else.
With that in mind, do you think that going through the Level 5 would be a good idea? It's a major commitment financially as I'd be paying for it myself, and I'm just not sure it's the right thing to do.
I'd appreciate any advice you can provide.
Many thanks
Ishbel
