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.

  • Hi Hollie,
    I personally skipped Level 3 and went straight to Level 5. I was working in retail management so not directly in HR but I had exposure to certain parts of it such as recruitment, performance management etc. I also had not completed a degree so it was my first time in Higher Education and I completed it all via distance learning so there's nothing to say it can't be done!
    I started my first job in HR part way through the qualification as a HR Assistant and was promoted internally to HR Advisor a few months later.
    There's different routes for all people so I think it's down to personal choice and circumstances.
    Hope that helps to give a slightly different perspective from your other responses :)
