CIPD vs Post Grad Diploma/MSC

Greg

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

  • There are lots of threads on a similar vein if you use the search facilities.

    Nub of argument is around qualification V experience. You almost certainly will be able to do the Masters but you may find it closing as many doors or more than it opens as you will be over qualified and under experienced. You may confuse and put off recruiters unless you can show a comparable growth in your experience

    Thanks for advice,

    I have had a read of some of the other posts to gain a better understanding. The experience was certainly a factor that raised some concerns for me
