No formal quals but some experience... considering L5

I have no formal qualifications but i have been in retail management for 10+ years. Throughout that time HR practices have always been an integral part of my role. After having my baby, i'm looking to get out of retail and into a more stable line of work once maternity finishes.

I'm considering my level 5 diploma through ICS whilst im off work as I will have a little more time on my hands. Has anyone been in a similar situation and can advise how they found it?

Is level 5 what i should be looking at or should i start at 3 seeing as i havent officially worked in the field?

Has anyone used ICS and has feedback on them?

Any help or pearls of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Laura.

    I proceeded straight to doing my L5 Certificate, but had just come from college doing L3 so was used to the standard of the work if that makes sense?

    It can be academically a challenge, but there is nothing to stop you - it'll depend on your own academic background as much as anything else.
