I worked for 15 years in retail as store manager. At some point, I wanted to change career. I was really interested by my HR responsibilities, but I did not see myself going back to university to study this subject. Hence, I decided to do the CILEx Level 3 Diploma as I already had a French law degree. I then secured a job as paralegal in the family law.
My duties were very interesting but after 2 years, I knew this career path was not for me. I found out about the CIPD course and decided to go for it.
I was eager to enrol for the CIPD Level 5 but the course was too expensive for me. I looked at student loans and payment plans, timetable, etc. but it didn't look like it was going to be possible.
I’ve never studied remotely so I had some reservations about the level of support and the quality of the course work, however, I’m glad that I did not let this stop me as I've had a great experience so far.
I have yet to qualify but just enrolling has been enough to prove to my employer that I was serious about improving my skills and gaining more knowledge. The course has also helped me in my current position as I do more than just administrative tasks. I was also informed last week that I was being considered for an internal promotion.
Enhance your own HR career, just like Inayah, by enrolling on a 100% online CIPD course with ICS Learn.
