Qualification recommendations

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 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!
  • Good news Matthew! Glad to hear you've had good advice and definitely different types of mediation, each with their own features.
  • Ah yes, I have also encountered Pragmatism and did one of their webinars. Can't say I was totally impressed (but could just be a matter of personal preference), and was subsequently subjected to regular, unwanted marketing emails. They wouldn't be my first choice for mediation training .... And agree with you about face to face learning, completing courses online has its' challenges.
  • I rather liked what I saw, but then it was my first introduction to the subject on a formal basis rather than just running mediation which I have done both in my paid and voluntary work.

    I'm actually doing a course closer to home, if I can get Head to press "approve" on our booking system!
  • Hi Matthew, I agree entirely! I undertook some training to be an internal workplace mediator a couple of years ago and the results of early intervention have been immeasurable. If I am allowed to give recommendations, i thoroughly recommend Pete Colby of Pragmatism. From memory it was a very enjoyable, but thought provoking 2.5 days and worth every penny
  • Thank you, Jan. Lovely to have that feedback.

    It was a webinar with Pete that planted the seed in my mind! I would have looked at going there but it's a long way away, so am waiting to be authorised to do one closer to home & work.
