Upgrading your membership has its rewards
CIPD designation after your name
If you upgrade your membership you'll be able to use
a CIPD designation after your name. This:
-
is instantly recognisable to employers, clients,
peers and the wider public
-
properly reflects your knowledge and experience,
which strengthens your professional credentials
-
ensures that your skills and expertise are fully
recognised.
If you remain a Graduate member, you cannot use any
form of CIPD designation after your name.
Enhance your marketability
Being a chartered member will confirm to employers
that:
-
you're a knowledgeable and skilled
person
-
you understand the wider business context in which
you operate
-
you can translate your knowledge into
practice.
Our research also shows that chartered members are
more likely to succeed when applying for advertised positions than
their graduate counterparts. They're also better placed to command
higher salaries and benefits.
Your profession benefits too
As your personal professionalism and capabilities
become more widely recognised, this will reflect favourably on the
profession as a whole.
Take a more active role within the CIPD
As a chartered member, you'll be eligible to vote on
constitutional matters and you can apply to be a branch
officer.
