Passed level 7 - how to move from Student to Assoc

Karen Carpenter

Hi,

I've just found out that I've passed my Level 7 Diploma and everything has been sent off to the CIPD who will post out my diploma. I know that this will make me an associate member and that I can apply to become a chartered member through upgradijng.

I was just wondering if CIPD will automatically change my membership from student to assoc when they have processed my qualification, or whether I need to take some action .

Grateful for any advice.

Thank you,

Karen

  • Hi Karen,
    Well done. It's a great feeling isnt it?

    I am looking to upgrade too. I have not pursued it until now, as I wanted to gain some more management experience. However, I need to change employer due to redundancy, so I am trying the quicker route of telephone interview.

    I don't know what experience you have, but to become a chartered member, you need to have management responsibilities, or the equivalent of, I believe. That's why I have waited, so I could discuss more in the competency based interview session.

    You can also upgrade by written application, but I believe this takes about 3 times longer. However, if I had the time, that is the route I would take. It gives you a chance to really think about your answers and put your experience together.

    I have an email that the CIPD sent me and all the update forms if that helps. Just let me know your email address and I will forward to you. You can also find the forms under the membership section on the CIPD homepage.

    However, I simply just called them, and found they were really helpful. They give you all the advice you require instantly.

    Whatever you decide, the very best of luck!
