Key Responsibilities (Post-Qualification)

Once placed in an HR role, your typical day-to-day duties would include:

• Recruitment: Assisting with job postings, screening CVs, and scheduling interviews.

Is This For You?

• Pros: You get a globally recognised qualification (CIPD) and a structured path into a competitive industry without needing a degree.

• Cons: There is an upfront or monthly cost, and the “guarantee” usually depends on you completing all assignments and attending scheduled interviews.

Important Note: This is a training-to-employment scheme, not a direct job vacancy. You are paying for the qualification and the recruitment service that follows it.
