Finally 'Chartered' via the Experience Assessment route!

So.... I have been an Associate member for years as, for personal reasons, I didn't finish the whole of what is now the Level 7 course.

I finally got my act together and decided to apply for the experience assessment rather than start the whole course again and still have to have the assessment!

Results are through today - and I've passed!! Finally Chartered!!  Such a relief!  We are going through an incredibly busy time at work and so much went wring while I was completing the assessment.  The hard work paid off!! 

Won't be able to celebrate for a few days but definitely deserve a glass of bubbly!

So if you are thinking about routes - go for it - the timing is never right - and it is a considered cost!  But - I think it was worth it in the end!

  • Hi Miriam,
    I am currently completing my Experience Assessment (Associate level) and feeling very anxious about the Case Study part. Can you suggest from your experience of any preparation activity I should do before accessing the 14 day Case Study window? I have frantically been trying to find example case studies to no avail. Thank you, Lindsey
  • Well done Miriam!!
    Lindsey (in answer to your question) - I did my chartered member experience assessment last year. The case study was tough but you'll be fine and will get through it. I read the document back to back for about a week making key notes on crucial parts as I went through. Then the second week I started to put my report together using the key questions provided to answer in full. As it states in the information pack, they are not looking for you to apply every aspect of employment law you know, they are looking for a common sense approach of how you would resolve issues. Good luck, you will be fine!!
  • Hi Kelly, Thank you so much for your advice - it's made me feel a little more assured I'll survive :) I'm currently based in Sydney so have the additional factor of ensuring my thoughts in answering the questions are going to contextually understood by my Assessor. Did you ensure to use tools such as SWOT/Porters Five forces within your case study report? I'll be accessing into today - 14 day count down begins. Lindsey
