Hello,
Looking for some advice on how to progress. I am currently studying the new Level 3 CIPD qualification. When I enrolled on the course I had initially intended to start on the Level 5 course, but was quite strongly guided away from it by the advisor as I would need to be currently working in a specialist HR role and would need access to company HR data to complete my studies. She advised the new courses had been made more difficult and the role and data were very much prerequisites.
I am currently a line manager for around 50 employees including 3 other managers. I work in primarily in operations in a large hospitality environment, and I am unsure if the company would support me in the above to allow me to move on to Level 5 after I complete level 3 if the advice I have received is accurate.
I have many years of generalist HR experience especially in employee relations but would like to move to a specialist role. Could anyone advise if I can study level 5 in my current role, or offer any general advice on how to proceed.
Many thanks for you help
John
