Calling all CIPD Graduate members, Chartered Members and Student members!
If you can demonstrate that you’re working at a professional level of CIPD membership, shouldn’t you upgrade to professional membership?
CIPD professional membership is the benchmark for best practice in HR, as it speaks volumes for your personal and professional credibility. Unsurprisingly it’s also valued by employers as it shows that you apply your professional knowledge in the workplace, contributing towards organisational success.
So what are you waiting for?
Apply today using our straightforward process:
1)
Check your eligibility to decide which level of professional membership you can apply for.
2) Complete your application form and return with your CV
3) Ask two colleagues to confirm your application
4) Pay your upgrade fee (recent Student and Graduate members are eligible for one free upgrade application).
We are currently looking at running local upgrading events to support members with developing their application. If you are interested in attending, please contact us so that we can consider how best to meet the needs of members.
