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.

Aperçu — adapté à ITOL Recruit
Dear Hiring Manager,
ITOL Recruit's HR Career Change Programme stands out as a structured, qualification-led route into Human Resources — precisely the kind of credible transition I have been seeking. The combination of the CIPD Level 3 Certificate in People Practice and tailored recruitment support, including CV development and mock interviews, directly addresses the two barriers most career changers face: recognised credentials and practical job-search guidance.
My background in a people-facing professional environment has equipped me with strong communication skills, experience handling sensitive situations with discretion, and a genuine commitment to supporting others — all qualities central to effective HR practice. I am currently completing, or prepared to enrol in, the CIPD Level 3 programme and am confident I can transition into an HR Administrator or HR Assistant role within the North East within the 3-6 month timeframe your candidates typically achieve.
