Society Qualifications

Welcome to the Society Qualifications homepage. Here you will find information about all of the examinations and qualifications which are offered directly by the Society.

Society qualifications differ from accredited courses because they are for independent candidates who are not attached to accredited post graduate training courses. However, candidates and their supervisors will need to make appropriate arrangements for access to academic facilities and support throughout the period of training. This may involve arranging library access at local universities and might include buying into modules of training courses.

The Society qualifcation assessments which must be passed are equivalent to those undertaken on a post graduate training course. You can find out more information about specific qualifications by following the links below.

On these pages, you can also find details of current vacancies for members of the Boards of Assessors, and for other assessment personnel.

For 'stop press' information, updates to regulations and handbooks, or any other important information, please check the Notices page regularly.
