Hi all,

I'm proud to say I achieved my FCIPD and found out last week.  It was a big deal for me because of some impostor syndrome and having just returned to work after 2 maternity leaves in 3 years, so I'm delighted.

Can anyone please tell me the approx percentage of CIPD members who are FCIPD?  I can't find this information readily available.

I have an appraisal at work next week and I plan to share my good news with my manager, and want to demonstrate why exactly this is important (for context - new manager assigned to me during my mat leave, I was previously reporting to the MD and now it's the FD who doesn't always "get" HR, so % figures would help).

Thanks everyone.

And if you're reading this and haven't yet booked in your upgrade, but have been thinking about it - try the assessment tool and do it!!  I'm so glad I did.
