Our HR Career Change Programme

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

- Complete in approx. 10-12 weeks at your own pace

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.

Aperçu — adapté à ITOL Recruit
Dear Hiring Manager,
ITOL Recruit's structured pathway into HR — anchored by the CIPD Level 3 Certificate in People Practice and backed by hands-on recruitment support — is precisely the kind of programme I have been seeking to formalise my transition into Human Resources. My background in people-facing work has given me a strong foundation in employee relations and communication, and I am ready to build on that with a recognised CIPD qualification.
My background in customer-facing and administrative roles has equipped me with transferable skills directly relevant to HR practice: managing competing priorities, supporting colleagues through challenging situations, and maintaining accurate records under pressure. I am comfortable with self-directed online learning and committed to completing the CIPD Level 3 programme within the recommended 10-12 week timeframe.
