Qualification recommendations

Hannah

Hi, 

Looking for some advice. 

I work as a HR Manager and currently hold CIPD L3 & L5. 

I want to continue my development but cant make any changes in terms of new job/new role right now.

My current role isn't exactly providing opportunity for growth and development and I need to keep my skill set and knowledge fresh for when I decide to look for something new. 

Can any one make any recommendations for qualifications or training that could be beneficial to my role. If you were hiring a HR Manager, what would you hope to see on their CV ?

Side note - I do not want to study for L7 right now.

Thank you in advance

  • I'm waiting for my Assoc CIPD Experience Assessment, but my next step is an Internal Workplace Mediator course. From what I have researched having this capability in house can be really useful in nipping disputes and grievances in the bud, getting to the heart of what a problem is.

    Verbally approved, but I need the Headteacher to press "yes" on our appraisal and CPD system!

    Hi Matthew,
    I actually think a mediator course would be really interesting and very helpful. I might look at something similar myself. I have considered it in the past when dealing with rather difficult workplace disputes

    Where are you based?

    I did a fabulous Webinar with a Mediation company based in the E Midlands & they offer everything up to accredited status. Many others out there too. ACAS one looks good but it expensive for accredited.

    I've been advised only to do a face-to-face not online version.

    Liverpool,
    Interesting you have been advised to do face to face only, i will definitely bear this in mind !

    Out of curiosity Matthew, can you name the mediation company? I can think of one but unsure if they would insist on F-F, my suspicious side says this is more about money ....

    Hi Hannah, just a quick pointer which I hope will assist you - while ACAS do offer mediation training this is purely as an interior mediator which is most probably what you are looking for. If there are any ambitions at a later stage to use mediation as an income stream the ACAS course is unsuitable and you would need to undertake training at another provider. Hope this helps with the planning. :-)

    Pragmatism (UK) based in Notts. However it's not just there that has given this guidance.

    I have found a face-to-face course at a reasonable price much more locally to me. Horses for courses, I guess, but I feel I would get much more out of it by being in a room with people.

    Probably my personality type or learning style, although there's an element that says if I try to do this remotely from the office then I will be constantly distracted. It doesn't matter if I have headphones on and am intent on a screen, people still come and stand in front of me gesticulating until I come away from what I'm doing...

    I'm deliberately going down the internal workplace mediator rote. I have also been advised to check carefully what a syllabus offers as some courses are about commercial and other mediation and therefore not necessarily relevant to workplace disputes.

    I'm sure the skillset similar, and I may of course have been misinformed!
