Could I ask your advice about this?

What is the best qualification for someone who has been managing staff for some time, but wants to move on. They do not have a degree, just 15 years of managing, appraisals, disciplinarys etc. A friend of mine has found that without some sort of formal training, it's not possible to move on.

nvq in management. like a diploma?

Our old office manager did a CIPD which is respected in the HR field - it took her about a year or just under I think.

Thanks for these answers. What's a CIPD? NVQs I can understand

I am too lazy to look it up really

And, yes, I want to know what employers will look for and don't want to tell them to go on the wrong course.

lots of info from the institute here
