Hi there,
After several years of putting it off I’ve finally committed to start the Chartered level Experience Assessment.
I’m a generalist and work in a consultancy capacity for smaller business. Prior to that, an in-house HR manager.
I wonder if there are members on the same journey who wanted to join a study group? Others who would consider sharing their experiences?
Rebecca
Hi Rebecca, I am in the same boat I started my assessment today and feeling a little overwhelmed once I have looked at the questions and thinking how my experience will fit. My company are funding so also nervous in case I fail! Pressure!!
I am in a busy stand alone role dealing with HR and Recruitment and I am a mum to Twins so it is going to be hard to find the time but I have put it off for so long!
I would love to join a study group, or share experiences, ideas etc. Would love to hear from someone who has recently gone through it and how they approached their answers.
I just completed and submitted all my reports last week. I feel you! Its overwhelming when you open the reports but read it a couple of time and it will start sinking in. I did all the reports on a word file and then transferred it to the portal.
I would be happy to help and provide any guidance required.
Good luck!
Thanks Imran that is very kind of you, would be great to hear what examples you used. Good idea doing them in word first, I will steal that one thank you :-)
How long would you say it took you? trying to plan my evenings and weekends to see when I can get child care etc to fit it all in.
Thanks Jenny
Hi Everyone, just wanted to drop a quick update that I have cleared by chartered MCIPD assessement. And honoured to be part of the this professional network.
Thanks ,
Imran
I’m currently doing my EA for Chartered Member and would love to join a discussion group! My email is clairepurdie@hotmail.com
Congrats Imran! Be great to learn from your experience! Is there anything you would do differently if you were to do it again? How was the professional discussion? Did it really take 3 hours?!
Thanks, Leah! Indeed, it does give you a head spin. Once you start absoring the info, it becomes easier. Please do reach out if you would need any support. Happy to help. Good luck!
Thanks. Yes sure, I would certainly advise to keep the focus on "I" and not "We" when quoting examples. The center of attention is "You" during this assessment, as in what particularly did you executed/ achieved and what the impact was.
Allocate sufficient time. It takes longer than you expect (at least it did for me).
Make sure your nominees (stakeholders nominees) are on top of things. I had to chase one of the nominee for submission. :D
Feel free to reach out if you would need any support.

Can I ask a question as Im tying myself up in a few knots. In the Candidate Guidance Pack they kindly give some examples as to how to structure the impact for your answers in the Knowledge and Impact report.
Did you use this template to also answer the behaviour questions?
Leah, that is a very good question. I would say yes, use that as I didn't (I did but occassionaly) and the feedback report I received, did mention that in some way or at least I could deduct that probably that is what is being mentioned.
