Chartered membership experience assessment prep

Katrina Ward

Hi All,

I've worked in HR for 20 years across L&D recruitment and into a HRBP role. I've taken a side move into management more recently and finally worked up the courage to consider going through the experience assessment.

I've taken the online assessment readiness tool which was positive but I'm still a bit nervous as my employer is funding this for me.

I'm interested in any thoughts from those who have been through it about what you wish you'd known or what you'd have liked to have ready before you started?

  • Hi Katrina, I am wondering if you progressed down this route as I would love to follow suit and speak to someone who has completed the assesstment. Thanks Jane

    Hi Jane, I just completed the EA route with my discussion on 23rd December and received confirmation of accreditation on 2nd Jan 26. I'd been in HR/LD for many years and been an associate all this time (over 21 years). I just didn't feel I had all the experience needed for the assessment until now. Having a really great project to work on which I was able to initiate from a training needs analysis, project plan through to implementation and then evaluation was what I needed to complete the CIPD EA process. This project has spanned over the last 18 months and I was lucky enough to be involved with our Executive Team and link it to our Corporate Plan and Learning strategy.

    My advice is to ensure you have something that has a start, middle and and end to show impact using various data sources. It should also be something you are passionate about and that will get you set up in the right frame of mind to feel confident about the assessment. Other pieces of work around my general experience were also really useful to tap into but for me it was having the experience to initiate and complete a project that inspired me to go for it.

    I had carried out evaluation on my project as part of my work so I used the data from that for the written assignment.

    Good luck, let me know if there is anything in particular you wish to know.
