MCIPD Experience Assessment

Hello community.

I have just registered to start my experience assessment for MCIPD and was wondering if anyone else was just starting the process as well. It would be great to buddy up and share thoughts about the process.

I’m very much a non standard HR professional, I used to work as an engineer and transitioned into HR via data, reporting and systems, later working on culture change, employee insights and now reward. I’m a commercially aware mathematics graduate with 9 years’ experience in HR across a range of industries.

It would be great to connect with others going through the same process (and happy to connect with others who have already done so).

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Community, Andrew :)

There's an excellent thread here... in case you've not seen it.

Thanks Steve.

Yes I have seen that thread, and it has helped me understand some of the requirements. I was just thinking that buddying up to offer support and encouragement (as it's likely to get a bit tense and be hard work) might help get through the tough times ahead!!

Hi Alison. I'm 11 days in now and I feel like I'm making good progress. I've completed my Self Assessment, I've nominated my colleagues for the Colleague Assessment and I am now on with the Impact Report, though only just started it really. I have my professional discussion scheduled as well.

I'd love the chance to chat during the process! I'll ping you a message and we can connect.

Hi Steve. I'm having a few problems with the Community site ... it keeps redirecting me to the "Welcome to our dedicated area for CIPD members" page when I click on someone's profile, for example. I am a student member, but my profile doesn't seem to reflect that. Can you please help? Thanks. Andrew

Sorry about that, Andrew. A few people appear to be experiencing issues with the login, so I will look into this tomorrow morning (and your Student 'label').

There are some other oddities too Steve (sorry to be a burden!) My name displays as just Andrew rather than my full name like yours, and I my profile link is www2.cipd.co.uk/.../2016052405031923c1ee and I don't seem to be able to set a nicer profile link, like yours is www2.cipd.co.uk/.../sbridger

Hi Andrew... I see you found out how to change your 'preferred name'... but for others, please follow the steps here:

Unfortunately, newer profile URLs are alphanumeric rather than picking up a username. Not great, but nothing I can do about that, I'm afraid.

Hi Andrew and Alison
I have just found out about this route of getting Chartered membership and have decided to go down this route. Andrew, I too have entered HR via a non conventional route and would love to chat to you about this, as I was slightly daunted about completing this having not had decades of experience in the HR arena and worked at senior levels in other areas prior to moving.
Could I PM you? I would love to buddy up through his process with you both.
