Routes into professional membership

Choosing the right level of membership depends on where you are in your career and whether or not you wish to study a qualification.

Your options are:

  • Study a CIPD Certificate or Diploma qualification and be awarded Associate membership on successful completion.
  • Study an Advanced Diploma then upgrade to Chartered Member or higher with the right experience.
  • Undergo Experience Assessment - a flexible and time-efficient route designed for busy professionals.

If you’d just like access to our services, then we’d recommend Affiliate membership. If you're already studying a CIPD-accredited qualification join Student membership today.
