MCIPD Experience Assessment

Andrew

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.

  • Hi Andrew

    I was hoping to go down this route as I am 15 years into my HR career. However, I couldn't afford to pay the £2000 asked to become chartered and felt very much costed out of the process. I also refused to study a Level 7 based accredited course as I had my Masters in HR Management had already been completed and I did not want to duplicate content (or pay to sit a course again).

    I work within Engineering (Civil) and the IStructE and ICE models of becoming Chartered seem far more affordable for our Engineers.

    Sorry to enter another topic of discussion, but I am interested to know whether you managed to get your Company to pay?

    Hi Sian.

    My employer has made a contribution but I have had to pay a large chunk of the fee myself as well. The logic is fairly sound actually. If an employer didn't need you to be chartered when they offered you your current role, the main benefit of having the chartership is in getting future roles. I'm guessing a lot of employers don't want to encourage their current employees to look for other jobs!

    However, I invested in the process because I didn't have an HR background originally and I wanted to accredit my experience, partly because I actually want a little bit of validation and also thinking ahead to future roles too!
