Studying the CIPD qualification (UK) with no HR experience

I'm considering studying for the Level 3 foundation certificate. I have been applying for HR Administrator positions for the last 5 months with no responses. I just got rejected for an internship because I didn't have enough experience, which I find a bit mystifying as that's what interning is for... Will studying while staying in my current job (supervisor) help open doors for me?

  • I studied the level 3 about 18 months ago while working two non-HR related jobs, and I've been in a HR Administrator position for around 6 months now.

    I also did it to help open doors - previously I had no qualifications and no experience, so I figured getting one of them was better than nothing!

    Some aspects of the course were difficult to do without being IN a HR role, as some of the assignments require you to analyse HR data, for example. Some course mates did absence figures, some did turnover rates, etc. I had to sort of fudge it with sales data from my retail management job, so it's not always easy but certainly possible.
