Why Choose the Experience Assessment Route while pursuing CIPD?
The Experience Assessment route is seen as a modern development in the granting of professional recognition with reference to those workers for whom practice learning has been their primary way of acquiring academic knowledge. This pathway is suitable for working HR and L&D employees who have been practising their skills for years but have no appropriate academic background to support excessive work experience.
This route is particularly valuable for professionals who:
- Have a great deal of practical experience in other HR or L&D positions where they can better exemplify the application of professional comprehension and proficiency. While some of these professionals may have no prior work experience, most of these individuals usually have several years of experience in project management, change management, or planning and executing human capital strategic initiatives.
- Want to affix CIPD since they understand that although their practical experience is useful, they would prefer to have a nationally recognised professional certificate. What many working in human resources and related positions say is that though their years of service can travel very far, having a CIPD membership can take one even further and offer additional opportunities.
- These are individuals who cannot engage in mainstream academic processes due to factors like time, work and other responsibilities among others. The Experience Assessment provides another more relaxed model that respects their prior learning profile and acknowledges their present obligations at the workplace.
