Getting a HR role

Hi there!

im looking to start a Level 5. However I have never worked in HR. I also do not hold a degree, latest studies were A levels.

Im looking at jobs descriptions and all ask you to have at least 1/2 yrs experience which for me it’s impossible to have. I’m worried I’m going to spend a lot of money doing the Level 5 and then struggle to find a job in HR.

i have a large experience en customer service, fraud and quality analyst, anti money laundering and compliance positions which is not relevant for HR positions…

Can anyone give me any advices , please?Sob

  • Hi Beatriz - lovely to hear you want to move into an HR role and are considering a CIPD qualification. I'm really happy to chat through pros and cons of the different levels for you if that would help. I speak with a lot of people about the qualifications and we find career changers are mostly better off with Level 3 and we encourage a move into an HR role during the course and support with CV reviews etc to help you to do that. You have some really good experience there so there will be transferable skills of course so Level 5 might be an option too - your decision will depend on a number of factors. DM me if you'd like some help to explore your options. Jackie
