Advice with Chartered upgrade

Ella

After many years in the profession and operating for quite a few at manager level, I feel it's about time I upgrade to Chartered Member. Reading the standards, I'm definitely operating at that level, but I've always had difficulty in filling out the form.

Is there somewhere I can go and ask the question? Really, I'm just looking for guidance as to what they're wanting to see - how much? Many of the questions read like you need to have specific projects that you've done, with budgets, metrics data etc, but I've never worked for a company that has been that detailed in it's KPI on a change/problem solving initiative etc.

Would be good just to speak to someone and it seems like there are no upgrading workshops or anything like that about.

Thanks

  • Hi Ella, I successfully upgraded to Chartered Member at the start of 2021 via the form application. I also hold Level 7 qualification like yourself. Happy to guide where I can.

    Hi Lynsey, I hope you dont mind me jumping on.
    Would I be able to get some advice on this too? I am Level 7 qualified, but unsure on next steps.
    Thanks so much,

    Hello Rebecca,
    I'm Tisha - one of the internal assessors with the CIPD and I'd be very happy to help you.
    If you have completed the Level 7 Qualification, then you should hold Associate Membership with us already and be eligible to upgrade. You can upgrade either to Chartered Member, or to Chartered Fellow - depending on your experience. We have an on-line 'Pre-Assessment Tool', which helps you self-assess your experience and we recommend all candidates use this tool before booking their upgrade assessment. It takes about 10 minutes to complete and you can access it here -
    www.cipd.co.uk/.../pre-assessment-tool
    If you're comfortable with the outcome, you can then call us up and book an upgrade assessment. For Chartered Member, you can book a video assessment or a paper assessment. For Chartered Fellow - it will be a video assessment. There's more information on our web-site here:

    Did you have any specific questions around Upgrading I can help with?
    Thank you very much.
