Level 5 in Learning and Development - no experience in the field

Lucile

Dear all,

I am currently starting studying the level 5 in Learning and Development with ICS.

I have a master degree in Event Management and a Bachelor in Management and Development.

I have a year experience as a Project Manager Assistant in an event company and a year experience in sales.

I have always been passionate by Learning and Development and as the Level 5 corresponds to the undergraduate level, I thought that I could directly study it without studying the Level 3.

Did I make the right choice ?

Could somebody help me regarding the steps to follow to start my career in L&D after having my qualification ?

Thank you very much.

Kind regards,

Lucile Darves-Blanc

  • Hi Lucile,

    I just finished the Level 5 in l&D with ICS! Good luck with your studies.
    I only had the CIPD Level 3 certificate in HR and very limited exposure to the field when I started, however it did not impact my learning too much- the metrics Unit (the research one) might be a bit more difficult when you don't work in L&D but your tutor will explain expectations and work with you to find a good topic.
    Hope this helps!

    Hi Vanessa,

    I would like to thank you very much for your help.
    I am less worried and even more motivated.
    Could you please kindly advise me or share your experience on how to start looking for jobs, contacting companies, volunteering in L&D when you do not have experience in this field :)
    I am passionate about L&D and cannot wait to start my career but I do not know where to start...
    What are the job roles you are applying for at the moment: L&D advisor, L&D consultant, L&D officer?
    Do you think that starting by doing an internship will be valuable when you have a certificate but no experience?

    Thank you very much again for your kind help!
