Upgrading
Upgrading is now a simple process and worth doing, as soon as you are eligible, so that you can take advantage of the opportunities higher grades of membership, attract. These include immediate recognition of your experience and your skills (and how you achieved these) when going for new jobs or promotion. You will also be able to vote on CIPD policy.
If you have five years’ managerial experience, including three in personnel or training, you can apply to upgrade from Graduate to Chartered Member. With ten years’ experience in a senior HR role, you can apply to upgrade to Chartered Fellow.
The application process is straightforward. You will need to complete an application form, attaching a CV, a CPD record or a completed personal statement questionnaire (from CIPD), and a signed statement from your line manager or a client confirming your professionalism.
If you would prefer to ask someone face to face about the process, then you can contact the Branch Membership Adviser, Margaret Malpas who will be happy to advise you by phone, email or meet up with you at one of the Branch events.
Contact Margaret Malpas.
The process is simple and should not take more than a couple of months from start to finish.
