Transitioning into HR from Armed Forces

Hello, I am looking for some advice as I prepare to transition out of a 22 year Armed Forces career (currently OR7 for those familiar with the rank structure) into the civilian world. I have a BSc in HR Management, achieved through Lincoln University’s military programme in 2019. I am now looking at CIPD and would appreciate any advice on what is the best route for me: 1. Study for CIPD level 5/7 2. Apply for CIPD accreditation via experience assessment

  • Hi Cheryl that sounds exciting! You might be able to study via the ELCAS scheme perhaps if you want to study a qualification. That gives you the learning and connections with people outside the military if you choose a live webinar option with coaching eg we have a CIPD coach who is ex-military. The experience assessment route is good too of course especially if your main priority is the membership. Happy to chat through your options and explore the pros and cons for you if that would be helpful. Just DM me to arrange. Jackie
