CIPD Professional Assessment of Competence (PAC)

This route to CIPD Chartered Membership is based on your experience as a senior HR professional rather than attendance at training days, undertaking written assignments and exams. You must have worked in a managerial position for the last five years, three of which must be in HR. You will have to provide a range of work-based evidence demonstrating competence across the four fields of the Professional Development Scheme (PDS).

Successful completion leads to Chartered Member of the CIPD (MCIPD), with the possibility of immediate upgrade to Fellow of the CIPD subject to your level of HR and management experience.

By choosing BPP you will be putting yourself in the hands of a leading provider, having been approved by the CIPD to approve our own PAC candidates (without further validation by the CIPD). At an initial meeting a PAC adviser will assess your experience and ability to provide the necessary evidence, and advise you on the best route to take, be it PAC, PDS or a combination of the two.

BPP offers:

• PAC routes that reflect your level of experience

• flexibility – we fit in with your schedule

• extensive support from dedicated, approachable and experienced staff - all CIPD qualified

• possible completion within 12 months
• advisers who have been accredited to accept new PAC candidates without additional paperwork for the CIPD
