Hi, I am currently looking to study towards a CIPD qualification but am unsure which level to start at. I have worked for a large courier company as a HR Administrator for the past 6 years dealing mainly with administrative tasks but have been advised by ICS Learn to go straight In at level 5! This seems to be based on the fact that I have worked within a HR environment for 6 years even though looking at the course content, there are areas I have no experience of. I'm not sure if they push level 5 because it is a lot more expensive or I will genuinely be wasting my time doing level 3 but as I will be funding my own learning I want to make the right decision. I also haven't studied within the past 20 years since leaving school .
