Can you skip level 5 and go straight to 7?

Frances

Hello,

I completed my level 3 HR certificate October last year (and passed - woo!). I really enjoyed learning and the added insight it gave me when working in my organisation. Looking at what is covered in level 5 it is the same subjects but in more detail. Is it feasible to jump to level 7?

Thank you for your help and guidance with this!

Best wishes,

Frances

    Whilst the provider I used don't usually provide the content of the qualification in advance, I also asked for some example modules to give me an idea of the level they were pitched at.
  • In a word - YES! I have recently finished my level 7 and MA in Human Resource Management. I came from a non - HR background (although, now work in HR) and went directly into the level 7. So long as you can plan well, work very hard for prolonged periods, this can be done....Good luck.

    I would echo this response too. I was looking at a career change and decided to complete my MSc in HR Management to support this. After a busy two years of part time study and in the last stages of completing my dissertation, I can honestly say I have loved it! With very little prior experience in HR and no current role in it (until the last 3 months) I managed perfectly fine with the academic content, demonstrating application and reflecting on my learning for future development. There is no competency portfolio like Kelly but still a level 7 accredited by CIPD.

    If you have enjoyed previous study and feel competent to study at the MSc academic level, you should do fine.

    Best of luck with your decision and future study.
