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 There,
    I know this is an old thread but searching through the forums its seems the most relevant! I'm currently going through my EA to obtain my MCIPD and plan to start my case study tomorrow. I'm feeling quite anxious and was wondering if anyone had any tips or advice they wish they'd known before commencing? I had a coaching call with an assessor last week but they only discussed my Impact Report and Self Assessment and said they can't provide advice on the case study.
    Many thanks and well done to those of you who've been successful in achieving your accreditation this year!

    Hi Bethan.

    No problem. I think for me the best piece of advice I can give is to read the case study several times over the first few days and try to relate it to the questions you are being asked to answer. Don’t lose sight of the questions.

    I started writing at about day 3 because that’s how I prefer to work. I like to write to get my ideas down and then edit later, but you might prefer to work differently. I have seen advice that reading for the first week and writing for the second week was one way, but I would have run out of writing time if I’d followed that.

    Other than that, best advice I can give is be structured in your report. Format it as requested too.

    Hope that helps.

    Hi Andrew
    Thank you so much for your prompt response - this is really helpful! Like you I like to write as I go and then compile and edit but that's if I have any ideas at all, I'm hoping my mind won't go blank and I won't know what to do!
    I'm starting in the morning so the clock will be ticking for the next 14 days.
    Thanks again for your reply, much appreciated.
