Becoming an HRi Member
For a limited time only (until 30th June 2022), we are offering all new members an extra month free in their first year of membership.
Whether you are starting out or you have worked in the independent sector for over twenty years, HRi membership will support you in launching, developing, or driving your business forward.
Why become a member
- Professional credibility and recognition. Be recognised for your commitment to maintaining the highest standards of up-to-date HR knowledge and expertise.
- Access to our expert knowledge and resources hub to help you launch, develop or drive your business forward.
- Be part of a community that encourages shared learning, collaboration, support and interaction with other members.
- Extend your network reach and opportunities.
How to become a member
To allow you to get the best from HRi membership, we have two membership plans:
- Core
- Premium
Your membership plan is separate from your accreditation. This is so you can choose the plan that best suits your current and future business needs and budget, whether you are launching, developing or growing your business.
HRi Accreditation
When you sign up for HRi membership, you will also select the accreditation level you are applying for. HRi standards have four levels of accreditation:
Bronze: Level 3 or equivalent or a minimum of 3 years in HR business administrative support roles
Silver: Level 5 or equivalent or a minimum of 5 years’ experience as an HR or People Professional
Gold: Level 7 or equivalent or a minimum of 6 years as Senior HR Manager, Head of HR, HR Director, Assistant Director or Deputy Director.
Platinum: Level 7 or equivalent and a minimum of 10 years of professional experience
To apply for HRi membership, you’ll need to submit an application so that we can assess your Independent HR and People Practice against our HRi Standards.
If you have any questions, get in touch and we’ll guide you through our straightforward joining process.
Team Membership
If you are already an HRi member and your practice has employees and/ or works with Associates, you can apply for additional member access.
