Level 7!

As Annabel has said - you are Level 7. You can't become a Chartered member unless you are deemed to be qualified (either by exam or experience) to level 7. Chartered members are really level 7 people who have a certain amount of experience

Thanks Annabel, I really appreciate your help here!

Teresa, thank you so much for the additional information! I was really struggling to get a definitive answer, but you made it very clear! A must add to my cv me thinks!

Hi, just to clarify this as I think there's some misunderstanding. Level 5/7 etc refers to a formal qualification achieved through a centre and not to a membership grade. Unless you've been through a level 7 qualification (e.g. an advanced diploma) you're not qualified at that level. Someone with a level 7 qualification is entitled to apply for Chartered Member grade via our upgrading process but the two aren't the same thing. If you're being asked directly whether you're level 7 qualified then the answer would have to be no, however the fact you've achieved Chartered Member status and maintained that demonstrates you're working at at least the standard someone with a level 7 qualified individual would expect to be at (and with your experience higher than that). Hope that helps.

I would ask the same Q, which level should I start (3 OR 5). I'm working as a HR & Administrative Assistant for 3 years. I have around 6 years experience in Admin but 3 in HR (Most of it in recruitment). so should I go with level 3 or 5? please advice
