CIPD vs Post Grad Diploma/MSC

Hi

I am currently finishing the last module of my Business Management degree which i have been completing full time for the last 2 years having previously studied part time.

Prior to full time education i was a manager in a large supermarket for 12 years and through this i have gained a reasonable understanding of the HR role, particularly after the in store HR departments were closed and tasks delegated to managers.

I am looking for advice regarding the next steps if possible?

i spoke to ICS learn regarding CIPD and they have suggest level 5 as an appropriate level for me to study but i also have the option to start the Post Grad or MSC in HRM via the Open University which is also accredited.

which do you feel would be the best option as HR professionals? is the MSC too advanced in paper given my relative lack of practical work?

Thanks in advance

    Your correct! Definitely gained a greater appreciation for the HR functions when the managers left.

    I have a lot of connections on LinkedIn from HR colleagues I have worked with over the years and it’s interesting to see how they have all moved on and seem very happy with their new roles.

    It’s great to see :)
