Your pre-assessment shows you have the experience to apply to become a member via Experience Assessment.
Choose when to start your assessment within three months. After registration and payment, you'll get access to your CIPD member benefits, including a range of materials, online research and communities that’ll help and support you throughout your online assessment.
Your online assessment will take about three days over a four-week period. It comprises three elements: knowledge and impact report, behaviour report and information on your professional development.
You’ll have a virtual discussion with an experienced CIPD assessor to talk about your career and explore your evidence in more detail. This discussion takes around 1.5 hours.
You'll get the outcome of your Experience Assessment within four weeks. If you're successful, you'll be awarded Associate Member, Chartered Member or Chartered Fellow grade and receive your CIPD certificate.
Expect to invest around three days over a four week period.
Approximately three to four weeks after you submit your online assessments, you’ll have an online Professional Discussion. This is with an experienced CIPD assessor. The discussion takes around 1.5 hours.
The assessor will ask questions about your career. They’ll follow up on some of the examples you provided for the assessment and they’ll ask for additional examples of your work.
The Professional Discussion is a structured conversation, led by your assessor. This makes sure you have the best opportunity to showcase your work, and to show us how you meet the membership standards. There’ll be a focus on the impact of your work on employees, the organisation or the profession. Prepare to explain how and what you’ve achieved.
