Should I study level5 without HR experience?

Hello

I have worked in Recruitment for over 10 years and I am thinking about trying to transition into HR.

I have quite broad recruitment experience that has touched upon; full-cycle, benefits, rewards, performance, management etc - but I have never worked in a specific HR role. 

I studied for a degree in an unrelated field (although feels like many moons ago now).

I've looked into the distance learning providers and I feel like level 3 might not be enough of a stretch and quite honestly, I don't want to pay for level 3,5 and 7.

Does anyone have any advice here, am I being totally ridiculous signing up to level 5 when I don't work directly in HR?

Thanks so much for any help/advice.

  • Hi Hollie. I've got my level 2 and 3 and currently doing level 5 and also already paid for level 7. I tried jumping from 3 to 7 and had to go back to 5 and I've got a first class bachelors degree in Law and still struggled a bit. My advice start at the bottom especially as it's a new field for you. Happy to help if you need any drop me an email. lee.mcnae@sky.com
