I put together a video on my experience of upgrading to FCIPD

How do you get your Chartered FCIPD? Is it worth the investment in time and effort?

I've been asked this question a lot recently so I thought it might be useful to share a video on the process I went through as I was assessed for my FCIPD.

I upgraded my membership from chartered status up to fellow which required me to have an assessment with the CIPD. It took me 7 days to prepare for this assessment.

They do provide you with a guide on how to prepare which was really helpful. However, it can be really useful to get first hand experience of someone going through the process. I've tried to be very honest on what the process is like in practice.

Let me know if you found it useful and if it was similar to your own experience. You definitely feel like you've earned it by the end!
If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help!

    This video is so helpful as I embark on the preparation for my assessment due in Sept. I know it is a year later but congratulations on your upgrade. I have one question for you (and the community). In the video I heard you mention you had 4 screens in front of you. What were these screens in use for? The assessment I have in Sept is a video call I believe (MCIPD assessment was telephone based). Would you know if I can keep notes or I can keep a screen with my examples to refer during the assessment?
