Should I study level5 without HR experience?

Hollie

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.

  • I agree with everything Rachel has covered above and have nothing further to add. But I wanted to let you know it can be done. My colleague has similar experience to yourself and is studying level 5. I am supporting with any questions she has and giving her some insight to my role. Academically I didn't find much difference in the structure and requirements of writing assignments from level 3 to 5, purely the length and depth of topics. Good luck.
