In order to gain membership above Associate level an individual must complete a course of study and be examined on the professional standards. This can be completed as a full or part-time student, or by Distance Learning . The courses cover general business concepts as well as HR issues. The CIPD issues a fortnightly magazine, People Management, to all members, and hosts an annual conference in Harrogate each October. Members also have access to extensive information via the CIPD's website and receive membership of a local branch who organise networking events based around specific HR topics.

Anything can count as evidence as long as you show that the individual has learnt something from it. The CIPD recommends that individuals engaed in CPD activitry concentrate on the activities that have made the most impact on them and their role. There are no rules about the amount of evidence that is provided, but it should clearly demonstrate how the individual has developed and what they are now able to contribute that they couldn't 12 months ago. | ||||||||||
