Well, there is no such thing as an archaeologist who is qualified at MIFA level in every branch of the profession - so you can be perfectly validly qualified as a MIFA but still appear less competent than that to someone from a different branch.
However, since the abolition of the old 'Areas of Competence', there is no way of knowing an individual's particular area of expertise.
On the other hand, I believe that the Code of Practice prohibits any member (at any level) from taking on work that they are not competent for. So, if you have real grounds for thinking that the individual is not sufficiently experienced or knowledgeable for the role they are performing, you may have grounds for a complaint to the IFA.
Please note that disagreement with an individual about appropriate methodologies, approaches or interpretations does not mean that they are incompetent.
