Experience Assessment - Guidance Required

Fahad

Dear CIPD Colleagues,

I am currently working on my experience assessment to become a Chartered Member and i am very excited about this importnat milestone in my professional life. So far, I have finished the self assessment, Impact Report, and one of the colleague assessments.

I would really appreciate it if someone can assist me answer the below questions for my next steps (Case Study and Professional Discussion):

- I read every where that the 2 weeks for case study are really intensive. Is it so insentive that I should be on days off? If not, what would be the average time needed daily to work on the case study? 

- Once I am done and waiting for my professional discussion, what should I do to prepare for it? Is there anything that you recommend I study/read other than the examples I submitted in my impact report and self assessment? 

Thanks in advance for the assistance. 

Rgds,

Fahad

  • Hi Community,

    I have recently registered for experience assessment for MCIPD. Is anyone out there in the same boat or going into this about now or been through this process? If yes, I need some help or buddy please.

    I’m a Workforce Planning & Information Specialist - so a bit of a non-standard HR professional. However, I’ve been based in HR&OD departments, and working with HRBPs/Managers for over 15 years. I’m basically HR systems, data, reporting, modelling, insights, etc.

    It would be good to connect with others in the community going through the assessment process or others who have already done this.

    I have already reviewed the threads recommended by Mr Steve Bridger.

    Many thanks,

    Steven

    Hi Steven,
    I have 36 days to go until I submit my Experience Assessment. I'm finding it tough. Mainly because I'm lacking some confidence in my capabilities, I'm generally not good at talking about myself and for my Impact report I've struggled to refine examples for Section 2 & 4 that are not sprawling, huge pieces of work too difficult to describe to someone not working in the organisation. Despite talking to colleagues about my approach and the examples I'm choosing, I am finding the whole thing slightly isolating!
    I'm doing more of the Impact Report today. I've drafted all my responses to the Self Assessment but they need editing as most are too long. I'm going to start the Case Study tomorrow, which terrifies me!
    If you still feel the need to discuss anything related to your EA, then please get in touch!

    Hi Sarah,
    Good afternoon!
    I must say very well done on submitting your case study - that’s great! Excellent! Yes, I did get access yesterday AND surprisingly? (It has not knock me out yet??..). I hear it - Steven, give it a day or two to sink in!). I have not felt overwhelmed yet reading through the basics.
    I did send you a message, will try it again (as I am not sure I can put my email on here. If it fails again, let me know how to conveniently/easily communicate?). Alternatively, Steve Bridger can help us out surely?
    Have a great afternoon, and very well done!! I suggest you celebrate!!!

    Hi Sarah,
    Hope all going well and your assessment is now in/or about to go? I have tried, and tried (and failed miserably so far to make contact). If you are in a position to, please get my details from Steve (I did also ask for him to help us communicate).
    Thanks, and good day!

    Hi Steven,
    That's weird, I haven't had any notifications. How are you getting on?
    I'm about to submit everything else today, 4 days ahead of my deadline. I'm so pleased to get it finished!

    Hi Sarah,
    That is great news!!! Very well done! and ahead of your deadline by a whole 4 days - that excellent! I am doing ok (I think!). I haven't been able to make contact with anyone/check/get a different opinion, etc with anyone whatsoever. I have drafting impact report/self assessment etc at the moment. I'm hoping to start case study next week. If you are able to, please get in touch. I also suggest you keep celebrating this week end! Steven

    Hi Steven. I think you are on the same timeline as me for your experience assessment.

    Have you done your case study yet? I was quite surprised at how much information they gave you vs the word count. I submitted at 10:30 this eve on the deadline day .. eeeek cutting it fine. I had to take a day off work to do some major chopping today. I have probably spent about 80 hours on it all together using the bank hols to my advantage. Definitely recommend others to book some days off if they are starting soon.

    Good luck with the rest of the process. I just have the self assessment to go now. I have never been very good at competency questions!

    Hi Hayley,
    How nice to hear from you - yes, we are on about same timeline, with you just ahead. I must say very well done with the case study!! That is excellent work! Your messaging could not have been timed better as I clicked on Case Study this morning. I have just had a quick scan through....I think I now understand when I read on here that it is vast! I'll have another look later this evening I think. Great you've given me some ideas about effort/time required, etc. I think I'll need to organise a day or two off work for this bit. Keep up with the excellent work on self assessment - that should be much easier now. Good day and talk again soon
