Hi All,
Yes Kevin is correct the statement of competence is the most important part of a corporate grade (PIfA, AIfA or MIfA) application. We don't use time served as a proxy indicator of competence any more, instead we ask people to explain how their experience demonstrates that they have achieved the level of competence required. These are broken down into explanatory statements in the matrix on page 8 of the handbook. We don't expect a portfolio of work from PIfA applicants but if you have something you can send with an application that's always welcomed. The work you use to demonstrate your competence can be from paid employment or voluntary work.
Referees are really important too. They have to know your work, be willing to act as a referee, and be in a position to comment on your competence, so somebody who supervised your work would be a good choice. We need two for corporate applications.
With the introduction of compulsory CPD the committee will also want to see a PDP and CPD log. There's lots of information on CPD and how to put together a PDP and CPD log if you don't already have on on our website
