In a perfect world.......a profesional institute would be like this .....
"....... a non profit making professional body with a rapidly growing membership of over 12,000 and a global reach that extends through 39 international branches. Licensed by the Engineering Council, the IFE upholds professional standards within all public and private fire sectors by offering assessment of knowledge, experience and development and engages with major stakeholders to offer international conferences, identify and promote good practice and enhance technical networks worldwide.
The IFE provides professional recognition for members across a broad spectrum and has achieved recognition from a number of professional bodies including Ofqual. Under its Engineering Council licence, the IFE is authorised to register suitably qualified members as Chartered Engineers (CEng), Incorporated Engineers (IEng) and Engineering Technicians (Eng Tech)."

Not sure the IFA stands up to this standard, and in an assement by a fictional institue of institutes would fail to qualify as a RI (registered institute) :face-stir:
Or am I wrong?
