Thinking About a Career Change? Why Not Choose HR?

If you’ve reached a crossroads in your professional life and are looking for a fresh start in a people-focused, rewarding industry then Human Resources might be exactly what you’re looking for. Many of our candidates come from diverse professional backgrounds — retail, customer service, administration, healthcare, education, hospitality, and more. What they all have in common is the desire to do meaningful work, support others, and build a stable, long-term career.

Our HR Career Change Programme

We specialise in helping individuals transition into HR — starting with recognised qualifications and ending with real job opportunities. Whether you’re working full-time, part-time, or in between roles, our online learning and personalised recruitment support can help you make a successful move into the HR profession often in just a few months. Please note that this is a training course and fees apply.

Why Human Resources?

The HR profession is growing steadily across all sectors. As businesses put more focus on employee wellbeing, development, and company culture, skilled HR professionals are more important than ever. Even entry-level roles in HR offer strong salaries, clear progression routes, and opportunities to specialise over time (in areas like learning & development, recruitment, employee relations, and more).

Here are typical UK salaries at various stages of the HR journey:

• HR Administrator - £27,000+
• HR Assistant - £30,000+
• HR Officer - £35,000+
• HR Advisor - £38,500+
• HR Manager - £55,000+

And with hybrid and remote roles increasingly common in HR, the flexibility is there too.

How It Works - Your 3 Step Journey Into HR

Step 1 - CIPD Level 3 Certificate in People Practice

The CIPD Level 3 Certificate in People Practice is the industry-standard entry point into Human Resources. It’s assignment-based (no exams), and is delivered fully online with expert tutor support.

• Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD)
• Covers recruitment, employee relations, HR systems, and more
• Complete in approx. 10-12 weeks at your own pace

This course not only boosts your employability—it also gives you the confidence and credibility to take the leap into a new industry.

Step 2 - Tailored Recruitment Support

Once you’re qualified, our Recruitment Support Team will help you translate your background and new qualification into real job opportunities. We’ve been helping career changers break into new roles since 2007 — and our 4.8 Trustpilot rating shows how serious we are about your success.

You’ll get:

• A professionally written, HR-focused CV
• Job-matching advice tailored to your experience and location
• Application support, interview prep, and mock interviews
• Ongoing 1-to-1 guidance to help you land your first HR role

Step 3 - Start Your New HR Career

Most of our candidates secure their first HR job within 3-6 months of qualifying — and often sooner if they’re based near a major town or city. And to give you confidence, we offer a Money Back Guarantee: If we can’t help you secure a role within 12 months of passing your qualification, we’ll refund your training fees.

Flexible, Affordable, Achievable

To make things easier, we offer flexible payment options to spread the cost of your training over 12 months — so you can get qualified without financial pressure.
