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, Good week?

    Perhaps there is a 3rd option: Trying both your 1st and 2nd options. Hear me out:

    Speak with the CIPD and let them know your intent for option 2. Ask detailed questions as it relates to your experience and the assessment criteria. You can then make a judgement call if this is a viable option. If it is, then carry-on soldier :-). If not, then you can apply to study to achieve your desired level of certification.

    Wishing you all the best in your transition journey from the military and lest I forget, I sincerely thank you for your service.

    My 2 cents spent.

  • I am in the process of applying for experience assessment and part of this is to submit a CV which is scrutinised to see if it measures up with the level for which one is applying. If Cheryl does that then she should get the answer!
