Upgrading to Chartered membership

Alicia

Hi All

I found out today that I have passed all the modules in my Level 7 Advanced Diploma in HRM and I would now like to apply for my Chartered level. I have just over seven years' experience in HR and I would like some advice about what experience the CIPD are looking for when you apply for this level; to what extent you have demonstrated that experience and whether there is a "minimum" number of years' experience that is generally accepted

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Alicia and congratulations on passing your Level 7

    It's some years now since I upgraded, but the advice I received at the time underlined the following points :

    • You should be analysing/thinking/proposing (not deciding) at a strategic level in your organisation, and are probably responsible for delivering the operational output of the decisions that will have been made based on your thinking/proposals
    • You will have been doing this for "several years" - I think 3-5 years was an indicative figure at the time
    • You should have regular access to the senior management team in terms of delivering advice or undertaking analysis
    • You should have an excellent understanding of the business and how your delivery impacts and affects the rest of HR and the other functions in your organisation, plus how it creates added value for the business
    • Your decision-making will be based on information from a wide range of sources, both inside and outside the organisation
    • If you are in a senior specialist role, you should be able to demonstrate that you interact with a network of peers outside of your organisation, possibly internationally

    I'm sure others will come along with their more recent experiences, but I hope this helps in the meantime
