Why upgrade?

The Chartered MCIPD designation demonstrates credibility, helps you gain recognition for your work and showcases your professionalism.

Upgrading your membership is rewarding and easy. It can take as little as 60 minutes, plus your prep time.

I've worked in Human Resources for over 25 years and this was an accessible way for me to validate the knowledge and experience I've gained over the years.
