Many people begin by taking an entry level job in the human resources department of an organization they are interested in working for, and slowly gain experience in all of the different facets of the job, from recruitment to payroll to employer-employee relations.
Many organizations also place a high value on a university degree in Personnel and Development, Business or similar.

You can also gain qualifications through the CIPD Professional Development Scheme, and later move on to complete your NVQs/SVQs.
