What next?

[city2city]

I am 30 and left school without good grades in GCSE English and Maths. I have been taking distance learning courses for professional qualifications in Management/Administration for the past couple of years. I am considering my next step and I am torn between studying for a professional qualification in Administrative Management which would be broadly equivalent to the first year of a degree, or studying to pass IGCSEs in English and Maths next June. I plan to look for a new job next year as I will be moving city. Which will likely be most positively viewed by prospective employers?

A professional qualification would be worth much more.

In my opinion . .

The IGCSEs would be seen as wasting your time on the unnecessary duplication of your existing qualifications (and unrelated to your professional development).

On the other hand, the professional qualification would be seen as representative of a desire to advance your skills and to further your career prospects.
