Is it possible to go from Level 3 to Level 7?

Good evening,

I have recently completed and achieved my CIPD Level 3 Foundation in People Practice, studying with ICS Learn. I am now looking at what to do next as my employer has advised they would be happy to fund further study utilising the apprenticeship levy. 

I'm just wondering if it is realistically possible to go straight to Level 7? For context, I do currently work in HR and have several years of experience, albeit in junior roles.

Looking for some advice and feedback from anyone who has maybe gone straight to Level 7 from Level 3 or been in a similar situation. 

Thank you!

  • Hey,

    I went straight from nothing into level 7, ironically I also did it at Jackie's organisation too.

    I came from about 10 years of retail management experience.

    It's definitely possible (exhibit A here), and I don't have a level 3 or 5 to benchmark difficulty against. But it has been very difficult, especially to adjust to the academic writing and the very specific way assignments are graded.
  • Hi Charles - you are proof that it can be done! Well done! There are many factors to consider both short and longer term for sure depending on an individual's particular circumstances.
