CIPD Partnership

CIPD Partnership

An overview of the CIPD IHRP partnership

On 16 November 2017, IHRP has signed a mutual recognition agreement with the CIPD.

This signifies a strategic partnership to globalise and build a borderless HR community. The CIPD and IHRP share a common vision to develop HR professionals who are future-oriented and are able to embrace change to unlock the potential of people and enable transformation of business.

As part of the CIPD-IHRP Partnership, HR professionals can enjoy mutual recognition from both the CIPD and IHRP through the respective bridging pathways.

For The CIPD Members

  • Associate Member (Assoc CIPD) maps to IHRP Certified Professional (IHRP-CP)
  • Chartered Member (MCIPD) maps to IHRP Certified Professional (IHRP-CP) or IHRP Senior Professional (IHRP-SP)
  • Chartered Fellow (FCIPD) maps to IHRP Senior Professional (IHRP-SP)

If you are a CIPD professional member and would like to benefit from mutual recognition, you will need to submit an application form. IHRP will contact you to arrange a pre-assessment touch point (30 – 45 min) to evaluate the IHRP Certification level which you are eligible for. For more information, please refer to the FAQs here.

  • IHRP Master Professional (IHRP-MP) maps to Chartered Fellow (Chartered FCIPD)

If you are an IHRP certified professional and would like to benefit from mutual recognition, you will need to complete a bridging assessment based on your current membership level.
