To renew as Associate... or not?

Gosia

Hello all

Recently, I noticed that more and more experienced HR professionals decide not to renew their CIPD membership and simply put ‘HR qualified professional’ on their CVs and LinkedIn. After all, the qualification stays with us for life whether we remain within the circle of CIPD members or not.

I’m due to renew mine in few months time but I was wondering if there’s any point?!

What are everyone’s honest thoughts on this?

Will you be renewing your membership or not? Why?

Thank you

  • I tend to agree with David - HR qualified means very little to me. I also haven't really seen a noticeable increase in its use on CVs or LinkedIn. I still see most candidates claiming CIPD membership to be honest (no idea if they have it or not)

    Some years ago I was tasked with checking a manager's claimed credentials, one of which was MCIPD. So I enquired of CIPD Towers, only to be met by a curt refusal to disclose whether or not a named person was a member, citing 'data protection'

    How then do eg Oxbridge colleges maintain public records of the names of graduates? Or the Government of holders of honours and awards?

    But it clearly wasn't worth arguing with this member of CIPD staff - but IMHO they do themselves or their members no favours at all taking this kind of stance - even if there are data protection issues, surely they need only to make it a condition of membership?

    I think that's a great idea David, it makes sense to be able to check this data.
