Not sure if this is the right place but where do I start looking at studying!

Name changed for this as with other threads it will probably out me.

Anyway I work in a HR Shared Service for a big supermarket chain.

I moving job to work as the liaison between the HR Shared Service and one of the warehouses.

As part of my role they have said they will allow me to take up 7 hours a week, if I wish to do qualifications.

I would really like to get more qualifications and it would be useful if it was HR based. Is CIPD the best option? My employer thinks so. But I want it to make sure I do something transferable and desirable by other employers incase I ever leave.

I am also in late 30s and single parent to an 8 year old boy.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to even start looking at this? Costs, advice etc?

Oh and I left formal education in 2000 and have 4 a levels. Dont know if they even count for anything or matter now.

Thanks in advance.

Have you had a look at the Open uni courses ? they do loads of stuff .
most are on line so you can do them when ever it suites you.

Thank you. I will take a look. I spoke to them years ago. My wage was so low they recommended quitting work. I obviously cant do that.

But will look at it again. Thank you

Also mainstream unis often do part time courses. I took one which is one day a month lectures and I’ve got a friend who does something a couple of hours a day a few days a week.
