Thinking about CIPD level 5 Diploma

Hi all,

this is my first post here, thank you in advance for your time reading my post.

I am currently working as an Employability Officer in the Careers and Employability Service at University. In a nutshell, I carry out CV reviews, I organise networking events with potential recruiters, I attend careers days and I create links with between employers and the university.

I am thinking of the next step career-wise and it would logically be to become a Career Adviser. However I am attracted to the idea of working in HR and I thought getting a qualification would be the best way to support this move.

I have read a level 5 Diploma would be suitable for people with HR generalist experience and/or people with a degree, which I have (law). Would this be the appropriate level for my background or would a level 3 be more suitable as my experience is not strictly in HR?

Thank you

Hi Vale

I did a level 5 without a degree and with minimal HR experience and didn't find that it was too much of a stretch. However, speak to learning providers and they will advise on what they think is appropriate.

Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your experience. Did level 5 give you access to an adviser/officer level job? I am asking because I am aiming at that kind of positions and self funding, so I want to make sure I have a clear picture in mind and I am interested in hearing from people who have gone through similar paths.
